I have 25 years of software engineering experience in a dozen languages and vim and the supporting plugin ecosystem cover everything I could ever need.

Modern IDEs are not at all required for success in this industry. They can sometimes even be a crutch.

I still teach people Vim. Some learn other things later but the important thing is they have a fast and free baseline available in every package manager.
