Yup, this is also my setup and workflow, and I also agree with what you say about VSCode feeling 'confining'. This is probably just a matter of opinion/preference, but I feel like an editor should simply be an editor -and IMO there is no better editor for turning thoughts into code with minimal friction than VIM/Neovim. The OS functions perfectly fine as an IDE for everything else.
