I pretty much do this with any language I use, including C++ or even Java and Kotlin. I just use vim for everything, it makes it easy to switch around between languages without dealing with a new IDE, and I haven't used any autocompletion in any language in probably 10 years -- that aspect is over-rated.

In Vim I don't recommend running the compiler in the terminal, instead set makeprg and errorformat appropriately, and use the :make command and the quickfix list.

I’d appreciate a link describing this more fully if you have one handy.

Usually with Vim the manual is better written and more accurate than any external source of information, so I recommed using the command ":help quickfix". It explains usage of the quickfix list, the :make and :grep commands and how to configure the errorformat and makeprg variables.
