Re: Do developers use vim exclusively or alternate with an IDE?

I never feel the need to use anything but Vim. The point is observing yourself
and then script Vim (or find an existing script) to make it a more comfortable
place. Knowing Vimscript is a good idea, but you can use Python if that is
easier to you.

On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with the mouse or alternating with
other tools. What matters is being comfortable, regardless of what Vim
fundamentalists can think. But it's true Vim can be tailored so finely to your
needs that I'd recommend giving it a good try before switching – even
temporarily – to anything else.

Best,
Paul
