Maybe i just never gave the heavyweight ide tools a fair chance, but i always found them more distracting than helpful. Focus is king for me, and vim gives me that.

I use IDEs with vim keybinds and zen mode (full screen, hide everything except text editor) when writing code.
VSCode is not a heavyweight IDE by any means.
It literally contains a whole browser engine just to render a UI.
Its all relative.
