What do you think about using vim emulation in VSCode?
For me it seems impossible to be productive without the ecosystem of extensions VSCode provides.
I am intrigued by the power of modal editing, but going all-in vim seems a step back with regard do "modern" development workflows.
In vim it appears you have to configure every piece of it from scratch, while in VSCode if you pick a new language it's usually enough to install an extension and you're good to go.
- vbsteven 5y agoI suppose vim emulation also works if the emulation plugin is good. The point is to make the switch and stick to it even though you will be slower for a while. And spend the time to look for better approaches when you feel like you are repeating yourself. (Just like you get that DRY itch to refactor when repeating the same code snippet a few times)
