I'm not sure what you disagree with. I'm saying VS Code isn't targeting Vim users, and core VS Code user base doesn't care about Vim.

I too can't take a seriously an editor which doesn't have Vim keybindigns at least in a very basic form.

Ah, I've misinterpreted it then.

tbh, I can't take any experienced programmer seriously if they never even tried learning at least some basic vi-navigation commands. I'm like, "what? have they never used `sed`, `less`, `more` or never read man pages? have they never logged to a remote machine? why kind of a coder doesn't know any of this shit?" I mean I get it, it's not universally appealing to everyone, some prefer not to bother. But not knowing it at all? That's weird to me. And yes, I agree - If you're making an editor for coders (standalone, embedded, web or native), modal navigation must be possible.
