VimL can be cumbersome, but I believe Lua in Neovim can be nicer to work with. But if you’re pressed by time or the task is not that important, I’d say VSCode is good enough. But everything is mostly a CLI away and VIM is especially good interacting with CLI tools. And Emacs is an operating system for texts.

I’d go with Jetbrains IDEs for their language stacks though, because they’re really good at what they do.
