The problem with these tools is that despite having worked with computers for 35 years, I don‘t get them. My brain is not made for them.
I only use out of the box vim when I work on consoles (which is still a fair amount of the time), I can exit (hey!), mark/cut/copy/paste (ok, yank!), save, and find/replace if I must. Everything else is just beyond what my brain wants to handle.
A lot of Jupyter lab and some VSCode otherwise. I can‘t say I know all about those either.
The last IDE that I knew pretty well was Eclipse, in about 2004. I even wrote plugins for it for my own use. That wasn‘t too bad for its time, I don‘t quite get why it got out of fashion.
There are those of us that still use it :) productivity gains lie elsewhere. And running various maven and git commands from command line instead of clicking around... something about keeping the skills in better shape
