My company provides license for Intellij IDEA Ultimate but I've customised my Vim for development according to my convenience so I use Vim instead.

Except for changing variable names across multiple files. IDEA's refactoring is the only thing I am using IDEA for.

    Just get Idea Vim, if you want vim controls for intellij, it will give you all the features of the IDE but the editing power of Vim. Of course it won't be as light weight as Vim.

    @Selinux Vim layer for IDE are cool, but sadly none of them is complete enough.
    For me the benefit of Vim is that since every action is a keystroke or two, you can record everything, and play them over and over.
    Most of the Vim layers do implement macros feature fully, or do not have every useful "verb" implemented

    @Torbuntu it does but it is not complete as in it's just emulating the navigation and text object manipulation. vim is so much more than that. e.g. it lacks a quick way to run something on the terminal. in my Vim I configured it to be able to connect to my tmux window and just with two strokes it detects my file type and automatically run tests/run linter/run deployment/etc. maybe it can be done on idea but like I said I've already set up vim haha
