sounds quite tedious to me as I am quite used to using editors
I certainly didn't start out my engineering career with Vim. I started with Atom, then Sublime, then VS Code, then IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.
What led me to Vim was not Vim itself, but it was the flexibility of the terminal and how easy it was to compose programs to create new functionality and workflows that allowed me to be more productive than I was.
Slowly, over time, I started doing more in Vim and less in VSCode/IDEA.
Slowly, over time, I started creating scripts, CLIs, programs that improve my workflow and productivity.
It's fine if anyone prefers Code Editors and IDEs over text editors.
My goal was to demonstrate that coding without a code editor or IDE is somewhat imaginable.

Yes, I totally got your stand here, even I want to get deep into vim as its extensibility and customizability is literally endless.
