Ctrlp, python (the filetype plugin), vimwiki... most of them honestly.

If you're doing C programming, it's probably close to equivalent out of the box. For Python development, you'll want to at least get the Python plugins; but you'll be doing that in most editors.

IMO, VSCode is interesting, but it's not that spectacular if you've been using any form of IDE (or a decent text editor with plugins). That is, it doesn't offer any major advantages over the other editors.
