I'm the same way. I've tried like a half dozen times over the years to "get into" vim. It seems like the perfect thing for me. I used to love wasting time ricing my Arch install. But you know what happens? I get 3 hours into setting it up and realize I am only marginally closer to what I already have with VS Code. And in VS Code if I want more language support or some fancy new feature, it's like 3 clicks and it's just working immediately.

Adding language support in neovim isn't very difficult once you're setup. I use nvim-lspconfig[1] and just about any language you could need is documented[2]. But like others have mentioned there are batteries included distributions of neovim if that's your cup of tea.
