I suppose it depends what you're coding. For Objective-C I use xCode. For Android I use Android Studio. They provide many key affordances because they are tuned to their particular use cases.

However, if I'm writing in shell, Ruby, JavaScript, or any other oddball language without a purpose-built IDE, a well-tuned Vim setup, and extensive familiarity with how to use it, works wonders.

There's a plugin called XVim for Xcode that provides the best of both worlds IMO.

There's a plugin called 'ideavim' for android studio (and all jetbrains editors). I use it in webstorm and intellij and it works great, gives you the best of both worlds.
