Somewhat less serious suggestion, not aimed at OP, but this whole thread:
How about everyone with less than two years experience with both IDEs and editors stand back so we grown ups can sort this out ;-)
On a more serious note and as someone who has been on both sides of the fence:
How about we accept that people are different? Some people like Mac, some like Linux and some - gasp - enjoy their Windows desktop.
That said, and as someone who has extensive experience from both sides, I think that if people put the same effort into learning and configuring their IDE as they put in learning and configuring vim then that might very increase productivity a lot more than last ten years worship of vim.
(And: do learn a bit of vim. It comes in really handy sometimes, just don't fall for the idea that some people sell that you cannot become a good developer without using it all the time.)
