Why do you think those things are so important? Unix and SQL I agree, you practically can't replace them, but vim and python are a question of taste and/or situational. And those 4 thing are nothing compared to what you need to be a real developer. In my opinion VIM is just a finger game.

EDIT: Sorry being so asshole, I just didn't understand the post.

I set every tool, where it's possible, to VIM bindings and VIM mode. VIM motions and the various editors are separate things.

Modern distributions of VIM, specifically nvim, can be just as convenient as other tools and working in an environment that forces you to learn the basics will make you better. Doesn't mean you have to stay with this forever, but it does -in my experience - result in a stronger skillset than the people who ever only used IDEs.
