I've been using Vim almost one year. At first it was a painful, really, but right now I don't feel comfortable using another Text Editor. Anytime I try to scape from Vim, end up trying to use the keyboard shortcuts learned in Vim😂

Yes I tried it too, but my machine is very old and vscode takes a lot of time to just start up. That's one of the reason I started with Vim, given the fast start up and performance in general. I'm not saying that vscode is slow. It is just that when you have vscode, Postman, Chrome, maybe another Electron based application, all at the same time opened is not so pleasure. My machine start crying 😭😭😭. And having this three application opened is not so uncommon or at least not for a web developer.
