I mainly use (neo)vim because it has a less distracting interface than any other full blown IDE. Not because of some fancy tooling. And because it is faster, but that might be a negligible reason by now.

I purposely try to keep my extension count as low as possible. It's just too distracting for me personally.

If I really want to use AI tools or something else, then I don't mind opening a full suite, but as of right now, I still spend most of my time in vim and use AI mainly in chat mode.
