One thing I really appreciate about Vim is that it just opens. And I don't mean speed, I mean not getting bunch of pop-ups nagging me to do something about a configuration, extension, feedback or whatever.

I'm not going to claim Vim's defaults are usable for most people, but my god can these IDEs just shut up and let me see my code? I'll go to the settings if I want to.

Sorry Dave, you'll need to create a project, configure the SDK and log in with your GitHub credentials before I can let you edit README.md

May I interest you in some Emacs? It’s arguably much more of an IDE than Vim, but it still “just opens”. And you can bring your muscle memory with you thanks to the Evil mode.
