I have spent a lot of time trying out various editors over the years. The only thing I absolutely require is some basic vim emulation that works the way I expect. To me, vim, neovim, spacemacs, emacs - all require a bit too much configuration for my taste. I just want things to work, without having to spend a lot of time micromanaging them. I tried Atom, but always found it to be super laggy. SublimeText is really nice and fast, but it seemed like some of the support packages were behind the times - and I could never get vim emulation to work the way I thought it should. I have found that VS Code really hits the sweet spot with performance, package management, and vim emulation. Packages are well supported and super easy to manage, and the vim emulation does all I need from it without any noticable lag. I rarely need to change any configuration more than a line or a few at most. Like others have mentioned here, I still do everything with git from the command line - except maybe the occasional diff perusal in gitlens.
