IDEs (VS code is an IDE, at this point) are very powerful. I really wish vim-modes would go away; I would like to see Neovim embedded in VS code and friends, instead. By "embed" I mean: nvim is the text editor, it does everything; it lives in the "document" area of the IDE; and you can bind nvim keys to IDE functions/commands (such as "Open Type...").
