IMO it’s because you’re conflating vim with an IDE. But really it’s unix that’s the IDE. I’ll use vim to literally edit files, and then in an alternative tmux pane either run my tests or ‘entr’ my source or ‘rg’ to search or git —-bless or whatever…

Editor + shell + tools is the IDE. And I like that I can swap out tools as necessary.

And should you want to do any of that from vim, you can (and you can customise it exactly how you want).
