I'm trying to move on from Vim at least once every couple of months - Sublime, WebStorm, VSCode - I've tried them all many times and somehow I always revert to Vim for most of my coding time.
I think the reason is that neither of the other apps offers such a seamless way to move around the whole editor with keyboard shortcuts. With Vim I can open terminal or project drawer and they're just another pane, while WebStorm has separate shortcuts to move between files and the terminal. VSCode has a shortcut to open git info, but there's no shortcut to close it, etc.
I'm still going to try other editors, because I see plenty of shortcomings in Vim and its "relatives". I wish though that editor creators explored the concept of modal editing more - all other editors are focused primarily on writing, while I spend most of the time reading, jumping between files and moving some blocks of code around

Same here, I think is muscle memory.
