wasmoon VS ideavim

You could still use lua: https://github.com/ceifa/wasmoon

ceifa/wasmoon: A real lua VM with JS bindings made with webassembly (github.com)

[this neovim plugin](https://github.com/abecodes/tabout.nvim) helps me get out of double quotes and parenthesis while being in insert mode (I use [ideavim](https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/)). The present implementation of this behaviour in the IDE as [smart keys](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/settings-smart-keys.html) isn't cutting it for me.

IntelliJ with Vim bindings is really good! It is actively supported so patches come often to fix some discrepancies with the original software. It even supports a handful of plugins out of the box.

For partial chest hair, use IdeaVim

The biggest advantage of vim is the movements (key bindings), and there are plugins for many editors for that, e.g. https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim

There are many apps, web sites, IDE plugins, and extensions that have vim keybindings. You can use vim keybindings all the time, everywhere.

There is a nerdtree plugin for ideavim https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/wiki/NERDTree-support

ideavim has vimscript, but I am not sure how "full" it is, never tried.

IntelliJ IDEA makes it definitively easy to start without setting things up. IdeaVim makes it better for a Vim user. But also frustrating, as certain Vim-features don't work.
