Mostly ruby developer here these days.

Just installed VSCode, installed a Ruby plugin (with the required ruby-debug-ide prereq), and opened a project. Debugger seems to just work. Very impressive.

Tried the vim bindings, doesn't seem to be working so well. This is something I'm used to -- vim bindings rarely work well outside of Vim. Basics like "diw" (delete inside word) don't work though.

I'll probably stick with Vim for my day-to-day editing, but you can count on me using VSCode for debugging. Not a big fan of Rubymine -- too sluggish for my tastes.

Which extension are you using? I'm using vscodevim and diw, ciw, and the likes work.
Was using vimStyle, I'll try some of the other ones.
Which vim plugin did you use? There's 4 different ones.
