Don’t use spacemacs. It’s very slow. Either use Spacevim or DoomEmacs. Both are great configurations that use Vim keybindings.

For a great vim editor, try out Onivim2. That is my current, goto editor.

Yea, Oni2 looks really amazing, I have already bought it ;)
But at this moment it is not usable yet. Waiting alpha release to try do something with it.

If you download and compile the source yourself, it is quite usable. The Alpha builds are way behind the daily source builds. I do a git pull and rebuild about once a week. I'm able to use the editor in my daily work.

Will try to do the same after alpha release :)

Onivim 2 suppports installing Code extensions via the Open VSX extension registry.

No thanks. If I can't install vscode extensions, it's useless to me.
