"Vim is my default Ruby, Elixir, Python, PHP IDE" . I have noticed all these languages are dynamically typed.
You can't compare the power of intellij for statically typed languages over any text editor as sophisticated as it can be. I have noticed as well that for dynamically typed languages it's not that much of a powerful difference (there is but not as for statically typed languages) if you use a light text editor or ide.
Can it show show call hierarchy?
The exact types of expressions? Show method callers?
Search for variable references?
Search for function references?
Suggest and complete function and variables types?
Show compile errors as you type? In code itself (red line).
Refactor correctly large codebase?
Suggest to change parent variable name or.method names when refactoring child?
Powerful debugger.
Build in coverage markers.
Git annotate blame in source code.
Much more powerful stuff which help maintain and analyze codebases and projects not written by me. Or written by me and maintained by others.

8 Of these things are covered under LSP specs. LSP really makes these features portable to just about any editor that can implement LSP client.
