Sure, I understand that, and it's tricky maintaining a balance between simple configuration and features. My point is that with VSCode, there's just so much I get for free, with a very pleasant user experience. I still use vim when I need a quick editor in a terminal, but VSCode is my always-on go-to editor of choice for coding.

Yeah, I think I've got about 2 - 4 years of cruft (because I refactor and garbage collect a little bit every year.) But not 20. :-)
Still, it's a pain point that VSCode takes away. :-/

However, I would also be interested if there's more to this for you than the configuration. VS Code is the nicest editor I'm allowed to use at work (because it's a MS product, some companies are really paranoid when it comes to other software) - but I never really warmed up to it. It feels very clunky to me when compared with Sublime Text or Neovim. Also the Vim plugins for it really haven't impressed me so far. Am I missing something, or is this a pure matter of taste?
