I tend to recommend people use the vim plugin for whatever editor or IDE they currently use, with a key combo to enable and disable it.

Seems like a solid approach. I went full send pure nvim for 3 weeks to get over the hump. No config changes or plugins.
This is what i did, started using vim motions in pycharm. I use nvm for small edits, but plan to make it my daily driver soon.
