I was the same and kept using vim for C/C++ development. vim-plug, gutentags (ctags manager), ALE did their job pretty well and I didn't bother to learn another way.

All that changed with web dev where you have to juggle with different syntaxes and tools... I decided I would just use a neovim distribution. I have tried many but Lunarvim (now inactive) and now Astronvim have served me well so far.
