One of the most annoying thing with this extension is that it maintain a different revert history that is conflicting with the normal one. Sometimes you just have to close a file without saving it because undo/redo is broken.

And it's extremely slow on medium to large files and it gets slower and slower until you restart vscode.

I have a love hate relationship with this extension. It's terrible but vscode without it feels worse to me. Sometimes I wish I didn't met vi in my life.

I’ve kind of learned how to juggle the two disconnected undo buffers in my mind. If I want to just go “back in time”, repeating even my previous undo/redos, I use Ctrl-Z. To undo a quick mistake I use Vim’s undo. I guess I treat them like short-term and long-term “undo” actions.

Sounds kind of weird now that I’ve put it in writing. It works for me but YMMV.

Heh, that’s how I feel after reading this article. I don’t use vim a lot, haven’t gotten used to it. It must be so frustrating always having to chase that “vim experience” in every editor, but never quite getting it.
