FWIW as a 'real vim' user I typically find these plugins severely lacking.
For instance, I've recently tried the ones in Atom and VSCode and they were both incompatible with my normal workflow. In one of them you couldn't save files with :q, for instance.
They're works in progress, likely--and I'm still grateful to the teams who work on them. They just weren't enough for me.
I completely agree. Perhaps things have changed for some of these plugins since I last tried them, but the only one that has not only basically matched Vim but exceeded it is Evil for Emacs.
I've found the IDEA Vim plugin to be good enough for most of my work, but the macro support isn't great. Specifically, I miss running macros on multiple lines with `:norm@q`.
The Jetbrains plugin is really good. So far I've found that it covers everything I use. Saving is not an issue with Idea since it autosaves and keeps a local history of your changes as you work.
