My honest take as an experienced vim user is that you could use vscode for the rest of your life and not miss a thing. There's nothing inherently virtuous about using vim keybindings to edit vs standard OS keybindings. It won't make you a better programmer. The real value is it lets you live in the terminal (and become more proficient at the command line as an extension). If you're living in a Java world, most things are done with GUIs and IDEs.
