I come from Vim, Sublime Text, Jetbrains IDEs, and have tried a lot of other stuff as well, but not as thoroughly. At some point VSCode became snappy enough for me to use as my main editor, and Sublime Text really spoiled me in that regard. What pulled me over was that VSCode implements a lot of features from bigger IDEs without installing extensions, and they also seem to work better in VSCode than in Sublime Text, let alone Vim. The ecosystem is amazingly alive and well, and the pace of development is really impressive. The user interface is in my opinion the best of any editor I've ever used. While I was transitioning I still used Sublime Text for quick edits to text files, but now I am using VSCode for that as well. Also, it can do multiple windows, as well as vertical and horizontal splits. If you're not using VSCode because of some missing feature, check back every month. It might very well have been implemented in the latest version.
