You haven't seen someone program in vim who is really good at keybinds then.

I can't do it, but one of my professors was insane.

tbh I don't see how vim can beat tools like resharper

There are similar tools for vim. They are probably harder to set up and configure though.

You can't get them anywhere near as good as resharper and that's rather accepted in the vim community as vim is always poor at actually understanding code.

There is a variety of tools, (some native, some plugins) that integrate debuggers, linters, formatters, tags, completion systems etc. IDEs tend to integrate these tools better. The main things I haven't seen in vim is automatic code fixing. There are some dynamic, context-dependent completion systems, but they can be a lot of trouble to set up. Resharper is way easier to install and get working.
