I was wondering what language do you code in? I am a proficient Vim user but the more I use VScode for writing Python code, the harder it gets for me to justify using Vim for serious development.
- colordrops 6y agoIf you use the right plugins + lsp, there's nothing you can do in vscode that you can't do in vim. Just requires a lot more upfront work, but you can check the config into a git repo.
- reidrac 6y agoThe problem is finding the right plugins, but it doesn't require that much time (at least in Linux/Mac; Windows may be a different experience). I use "IDE features" when writing Scala: vim-plug first, then vim-lsc + metals. The configuration of lsc is trivial (as in you can copy an example of less than 10 lines). After using this for a while, I replicated the same experience in Python with python-language-server (I install it with pip --user), and it was matter of 5 minutes to setup. Before this I was using syntastic + ctags, and that required much more work. May be is more work than getting the same functionality in VSCode, but it doesn't look a lot of work to me.
