For me, Vim is still a code editor, an IDE has certain advantages for complex projects. From this point of view it is better for my purposes to combine IDE with Vim Commands. Outside the IDE I work with Vim.

I don't worry so much about resources with the IDE, I use Docker for JS stories that eat more resources :D
