Nice article!

Personally I find vim as really nice tool to edit text and code. But it can be rather tedious to use pure vim for programming in e.g. Java or C#. Especially when working on solutions created by some IDEs. That's why I really appreciated having a build in vim mode in IDEs e.g. form JetBrains like IDEA and PyCharm even Vim mode for VSCode.

Obviously it can be hard to tweak it like traditional vim but most of the things are set up out of the box and you can enjoy vim typing experience and when in insert mode even most of the IDE build-in shortcuts work as expected. So it's a win win :)
