Cursor movement is latency sensitive in a way that 95% of plugins are not. An editor where your cursor doesn't move when it's supposed to is very distracting -- I think for most people, it's disqualifying. I like VSCode, but my primary machine is a 2015 MBP and I can't use VSCode as my primary editor because the vim lag is too strong.
It's not simple to engineer a plugin system that can accomodate this. There aren't that many preferred input schemes, why not just support them as first-class?
- umvi 6y agoHonest question, why not just literally use vim if you love vim workflow? Why do vim users force vim support on every other text editor?
- lenkite 6y agoHe (like me) probably uses BOTH vscode and vim. VSCode has a number of great extensions I love. VIM has a number of great plugins I love. I love both editors! Now, I just need VIM input scheme on both, for fast, consistent keyboarding that leverages my muscle memory.
