I switched to vim from TextMate over 10 years ago. I love modal editing. I also love modally controlling the whole editor (like opening files and showing/hiding different buffers). I have more trouble learning to hit several keys at once than learning to hit them in series. I do have a few key combos set up in vim that I keep forgetting so I should probably turn them into mappings.
That said I think VSCode is pretty awesome. What attracts me to it most is the powerful intellisense, since I haven’t figured out how to get more robust completion with vim plugins.
I’ve tried getting into VSCode, since I can at least edit text modally with it (although it feels slower), but there’s just too much to set up. Back in 2008 or 09, it took me two weeks of being fairly unproductive to get vim set up well for me. At the time there wasn’t much work to do because of the economy, but right now I have a lot of work to do (in spite of the economy).
