I'm not sure about the boundary where "editor" ends and "IDE" begins, and I'm not sure which side VS Code falls on at this point.
Either way, I think it worth mentioning that the Vim emulation plugin for JetBrains' products is truly the best out there... and a great milestone for others to strive toward. The scope of what's emulated (including Vim-style search and replace), the ability to cherry pick which keyboard shortcuts use Vim mappings and which use the native editor mappings, etc.
In my humble opinion, IntelliJ is a better Vim than Vim is. I noodle around with VS Code here and there... but it's approaching an uncanny valley point where it's too heavy for use as a plain text editor, but not able to compete with WebStorm (or whatever) as a web IDE.
