I just look at the line number. If the code I want to edit is 17 lines up there's a 17 next to it. My ide window looks like my comment. Normally an ide would look like this

As a vim user myself, I don't understand why you need relative lines either. I can just as easily type :23 to go to line 23.

Mostly a matter of taste I think. One benefit is one less key press since relative keys shouldn't need to press enter at the end of the command. I mostly use it because it came default with LazyVim.
