Thank you for your answer. Some code base have chaotic execution path through a monolithic code base (by design). So, for these code bases, I heavily rely on the debugger. But I like your suggestion to use both of them, I think it's a good way to transition slowly and efficiently.

Another good way to transition is to use your editor's vim plugin.

Pretty much every IDE has a vim plugin that's at least adequate. I've had good experiences with vscode, jetbrains, and visual studio vim plugins.
