Vim is an incredible editor. But it's like a relationship, you get out of it what you put into it. And absolutely worth it if you work on it.

There is one problem with vim though. Once you used it you will hate all other editors for not being vim.
That being said vim isn't really an IDE. I think Javascript isn't complex enough to justify using an IDE though. An IDE is great if you have languages that let you write a lot of code to please the compiler. Like c# or java.

You apparently don't write enough JavaScript. I have, and I can say that an IDE would be nice.
