Vim After 15 Years

Although I recognize that theoretically there are features in an IDE that could be useful, every time I've tried to use one I find it intrusive and slow and frustrating and confusing. I inevitably close it in a rage within 15 minutes.

neovim plus a couple extensions plus some Unix command line tools are just so simple and convenient.

Why did you spend time to figure out and set up vim, tools, and extensions, but only spend 15 minutes with an IDE?

vim's "design decision" to have extensions and external tools that you need to manually string together somehow is just as infuriating.
