One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.

Obviously I don’t have hard numbers but I’m curious what you are sure that Vim can’t do that a full fledged IDE can’t.
I’m honestly wondering because I haven’t run into much at all that I can’t cover in Vim. I don’t tend to work in languages with tons of tooling though so maybe that accounts for it.
And not everyone is luck enough to have an employee who will shell out for arbitrary licenses.

That seems like a very popular opinion except among those that have learned vim.
Now I'll switch to links to respond to your comments.

I have not found learning vim a waste and still get IDE benefits.
Shameless plug: dev.to/demianbrecht/you-will-pry-v...
I have learned vim enough to write part of the translated manual in french.
And I'm sorry but it would be delusional to think that vim gives IDE benefits similar to JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA :)
Right it's not a waste of time, it's fun
With the right plugins you can get most of the way there. I'll take 95% of the way there for free than 100% of the way for $150/year.
vim+plugins doesn't do 95% of a modern ide
and $150/year is like one or two hour of work for your employer, I'm pretty sure that he shouldn't care
I think you missed that I wasn't specifically talking about vim, but emulators and new IDE which provide vim's mode based editing.

True, and that's why there is a space for both
onivim.io/ is not released yet so why would I compare with mature IDEs?
Using a modern IDE with vim's mode based editing is fine if that's something you like
Ah maybe that's why. Try out doing refactoring with Kotlin in JetBrains IDEA Community Edition

When I did C++ and Java in school I definitely appreciated having more tooling around things.
