I see a lot of people here coding using terminal editors like vim. Isn’t it better to use an IDE rather than vim? How do people in the industry do it?

Can't run phpstorm in a terminal :p

Depends 100% on your language. Vim is fine for me writing c, with a bunch of plugins for git integration and the like. I live in the terminal anyway and have to edit files on computers I'm ssh'd into. I don't think it would work as well for web dev.
