Theoretically it's possible to have a not-buggy vim. It's not fair to exclude everyone who is able to configure a more performant editor just because you can't.

Your claim that "in the actual world it doesn't exist" is just not true. Thousands of lifetime vim/emacs users are scratching their heads.

Configuration is maintenance that I'd rather not do, it's not a matter of "can't". I used vim as my main editor for years, and I had it very much configured to my liking. Any time you have to set up plugins for a new language or a new environment though, it can be annoying, which is why I started using vscode as a front-end for neovim. Now I have a nice-feeling well-supported IDE with all the power of vim for editing.

Okay; my response was to what you said, which was that my editor doesn't exist.
