I know exactly how you feel. I did eventually end up finding an open source solution that worked for me though. After trying a few things I ended up on the helix text editor + the Rust LSP.
It took me a while to get to the point where I could code as fast as I could in Jetbrains IDEs but I got there and am now even faster than I used to be.
It was hard but very worth it.
I’ve read about Helix and it seems less effort than vim or its evil twin (emacs). How long did it take for you to get productive?

To get to the point where I could feel like not an idiot maybe 3 hours of actual programming time.
To get to the point where I was a slow yet productive programmer it took maybe 12 hours of actual programming time.
To get faster than I was at Jetbrains IDEs that took like maybe ~24 hours of actual programming time.
I strongly recommend:
After I did these two things, I got better faster. It’s frustrating but totally worth it. Now when I’m on my laptop I just use helix and qutebrowser under the sway desktop environment. It’s a 100% mouse free experience and it’s just faster and better in every way.
Thanks for the tips. I’ll give Helix a shot. I’ve been trying to get rid of vim and now neovim for a while. Maybe helix will be the solution.

In what way is it less effort than vim? I’ve tried helix a little bit and it didn’t seem that different.
I’m hoping it’ll be less effort setting it up than vim/neovim. Both need a bunch of plugins to be worth using. I got some preconfigured neovim config (doomvim or something) and while it’s better, a bunch of stuff just doesn’t work.
