The problem there is that you'd be integrating two massive codebases, each with different expectations, assumptions etc. No matter how hard you try, they'd clash in places and some things would not work, leaving one side or another unhappy even with this massive effort. IdeaVim makes it work by having a massively simplified vim-like editor, specifically written for IntelliJ.
