Hey Igor, Vim is a great tool I've been using for about 4 years now. When I started using it, I used NeoVim. About 2 years later, I switched to VSCode, but it felt a lot weird. But I found out the PERFECT tool. Vim inside VSCode.
Good for beginners and advanced users. Plus, you get the extension support, which Vim has, just not as good.
So my recommendation for people learning vim is to use it with some editor/IDE, like Jetbrains.

That's a good idea. For people transitioning from IDE to Vim, their Vim plugins are pretty good. There are some limitations, but chances are, if you're starting, you probably won't use those advanced commands anyway. Good suggestion!
