I started with vscode but moved to (neo)vim 2 or 3 years ago. Last year I experimented going back to vscode with one of the vim plugins.

By default there are some conflicting keybinds like ctrl-o and ctrl-v, but these can be disabled in vscode settings.json so wasn’t a problem.

The main feature that doesn’t work over the neovim-vscode rpc bridge is undo tree, that was important to me. You also have to put up with much slower start up times and slower syntax highlighting because vscode uses lsp highlighting.

But the deal breaker for me was losing any vim plug-in with a ui component like fzf, fugitive, and the file tree I like (fern.vim).

It might work for you, some coworkers switched from vim to vscode-neovim and were very happy with the compromise.
