This is what I mean about straw men and mythical divides. Yes, there is a plugin to VSCode to do exactly that. But it doesn't matter. Different software has different features and all features are possible depending on what you care about. Vim is Vim. Vim doesn't have features because of some GUI vs. command line distinction -- it just has different features because it's a different product. Nothing stops a GUI IDE like VSCode from having those same features. And nothing stops you from using GUI windows and mouse in a desktop version of Vim.
