I use it for quick edits or when I need to use macros. Although many Vim evangelists claim it‘s the best editor for coding, I have made the experience that VS Code is better. Vim is an extensible text editor, not an IDE. Sure, you can tweak it by adding all sorts of plugins like CoC for autocompletion, syntax highlighters etc. However, the tweaking often takes a lot of time, with the result rarely being better than an IDE.
