Is VSCode an inferior editor compared to Vim/Neovim? Absolutely, it is. Is Vim/NeoVim an inferior IDE experience compared to VSCode despite the ongoing evangelism by NeoVim fundamentalists? Most likely, yes.
Here's an example before I start getting flak — NeoVim doesn't have stable indent visualization lines and stable and sensible code folding support. Try writing serious Markdown documentation or Python code in NeoVim and then in VSCode.
The NeoVim website also mentions that being like an IDE is not one of its goals.
I already know the responses I'm gonna get - it's open source, submit patches or shut up, it's personal taste, those features are irrelevant etc etc.

You should keep using it. Don't get swayed by people proselytising Neovim.
