Vim doesn't have syntax highlighting? News to me. Git and file finder is available to you by opening a new terminal tab/window and simply using git/standard unix utils. There's no need to integrate such features when you can extend a terminal into an IDE as your needs suit.

Vim has very simple highlighting, and doesn't support symbol jump; that's why ctags is an external dependency for that behaviour.
As for a file finder, I'm curious how you can use a separate tab to open that in the current instance of Vim? From when I'd last used it, most folks were using Ctrl-P to solve that problem, and usually with an external indexer like fzf or ag.
