I have added NerdTree which adds a folder view to the left of Vim just like an IDE. It makes creating, updating names and deleting files really fast and easy.
I also added Ctrlp since I am often editing huge projects at work and home to ease the search of files. It is a fuzzy file finder just like in VSCode.
I also have Devicons which adds little icons of folders and files in NerdTree. It is really not necessary if you are saving resources but it adds a more IDE-like experience. I hope you'll find these useful for your workflow.
NerdTree is definitely the best available option so far. But I think I am okay without this because I don't need to work with multiple files that much. I use vim when I am doing competitive programming. Other than that, I use vscode.
I see, you definitely are right. Vim has a command called :Explore which acts as a little graphic file manager. You can also use :Sexplore for a vertical split. This can be a pretty good replacement for NerdTree if you do competitive programming.
I just use airline and auto-complete braces in my init.vimrc(I use neovim) and I am happy with it.
