VSCode, with Vim emulation. I almost never want for Vim stuff that doesn't exist in the Code plugin. I generally am happy with Code's autocomplete and plugin ecosystem.

Really feels like the best of both worlds to me.



Couldn’t get used to it. I’ve used Vi, Vim and Doom Emacs extensively, but VSCode is just so mousey... maybe I should try again.


Coming from a similar background I found that it was super helpful to create my own keybinds for stuff like navigating forward/backward through tabs, toggling the sidebar etc. Before I did that I felt similarly that it was too mouse dependent.

The VSCode Vim extension has a `gh` key sequence for showing the hover info you normally have to use the mouse for that made switching much easier.


Same experience last time I tried it. my particular pain point was that I couldn't interact with menus of any kind with keybindings
