Obviously I don’t have hard numbers but I’m curious what you are sure that Vim can’t do that a full fledged IDE can’t.
I’m honestly wondering because I haven’t run into much at all that I can’t cover in Vim. I don’t tend to work in languages with tons of tooling though so maybe that accounts for it.
And not everyone is luck enough to have an employee who will shell out for arbitrary licenses.
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
I think you missed that I wasn't specifically talking about vim, but emulators and new IDE which provide vim's mode based editing.

True, and that's why there is a space for both
onivim.io/ is not released yet so why would I compare with mature IDEs?
Using a modern IDE with vim's mode based editing is fine if that's something you like
Ah maybe that's why. Try out doing refactoring with Kotlin in JetBrains IDEA Community Edition

When I did C++ and Java in school I definitely appreciated having more tooling around things.
