I think it depends heavily on what you're doing. My world is full of YAML/HCL/cnf files, and if I'm writing code, Go, where code is for software that runs from the command line, a daemon, or a no frills API/web service. Atom/VSCode and other IDE's were wasted on me, so I found myself gravitating back to Vim for its ease of use for those use cases. That said, vim-bootstrap did save me effort of getting a pretty solid editor out of Vim without having to think too hard about it.

Of course IDEs are wasted on Go - there’s literally not a single IDE in the world that can find all implementations of an interface in Go.
