I traded vim for VSCode back when VSCode was fast. These days, there is so much shit running in VSCode by default that it has become an unruly mess. I couldn't tell you what happens when I save or open a file like I could with Vim--what checks are being ran or what telemetry is being exfiltrated.

At this point it's just laziness and inertia keeping me on VSCode, getting my neovim setup back (along with the muscle memory) keeps getting pushed off.

I haven't been able to find an IDE use because their vim integration is only ever for the editor. But I hate having to constantly manage my vim config; I settled on using LazyVim and have been pretty happy. It's heavy as far as vim is concerned, but once you get used to it, it's nice being able to update and not have everything break hah

I had a ridiculously fine tuned neovim setup in my dotfiles that I created over the years, including a nice neovim terminal setup that I can navigate/change using only keyboard (never been a big tmux fan). I've managed to replicate some of it decently with VSCode (vim extension, and I can do CTRL+j to open a terminal and CTRL+k to move back to the editor), but it's just slow and has a tendency of crashing at the worst time.
