As I said, I don't want to learn how to use 5+ tools. I want to be able to install one thing, have everything work out of the box, and learn how to use their uniform and standard way of doing things.



I acknowledge that learning lots of tools just to start using a new language is a bit much.

However, the reason why so many people in this thread persist in suggesting that these tools are worth learning is that turns out most of these tools plug-and-play with whatever new language you feel like learning 6 months or 2 years or more from now.

Vim is one of the more popular editors to use in conjunction with this plug-and-play philosophy; if you have a change of heart and want to take a dive into learning to use Vim as such, I'd recommend Vim as an IDE[1], which addresses a lot of the points you brought up in your list of things you wish an IDE had.
