There's some vim extensions for stuff like that. You might also wanna look at neovim. I really think that you just haven't fully realized the power of vim yet. Also, a note, I've head that classic vi was made for C, whereas vim was designed for C++ editing.

Personally, I use micro, it's a really neat little editor. Emacs also seems nice, especially with the spacemacs config, I'm considering switching to it.

Don't even think about using stuff like Sublime, VS code, Atom, etc. Sam and acme on Plan9 are the best for GUI.
