Learning vim motions in VSCode with the vim plugin was the best decision I made this year. Made programming even more fun and after a year of learning I actually feel that I finally reached a point where I’m a lot more productive. I set up neovim too, but I’m missing some things to fully switch from VSCode and I have to research my options (git integration and debugging are my pet peeves), which I haven’t had time for lately.
Microsoft has always been terrible at naming things. And at developing things. And at literally everything.
Except VSCode for some reason. VSCode is great.
Say that to the face of a hardcore Vim or Emacs user and enjoy the essay.
I like vim, but I’m not a power user, so trying to code with it sounds…painful. I’ve never cracked emacs, although it has piqued my curiosity.

mostly because all the good stuff in vscode comes from open source community
