Recently, I tried VS Code with the vim plugin and didn't find it to be too bad. Then again it isn't lightweight, but I think part of the problem is, that every programming eco-system has its own tools and one-size-fits-all solutions are unlikely to be small ;-)

However, it VS Code didn't convince me to give up my regular tmux+vim combination.

Well vscode is written on electron. Your editor in that case is a full blown browser basically.

I see no reason why something as lightweight as vim or emacs can be configured to be as powerful as vscode while being much more lightweight.
