> I'm a Vim person, and am envious of IDE users with integrated breakpoints

When I started writing Rust some years ago I switched to using an IDE full time. Before that I had mostly been using Vim for the majority of the code that I wrote.

The IDE I use is JetBrains CLion, and I love it a lot.

Importantly, JetBrains IDEs have a Vim emulation plugin that you can install, so you still get to use many of the key bindings and features that you know and love from Vim, including recording macros and playing the macros back etc.

I really recommend that you check out the JetBrains IDEs. Install a trial version of the one(s) suitable for the language(s) that you use, install the Vim emulation plugin, and use it for a while.
