I jump between neovim and vscode with neovim every few months. Neovim can be faster and more scriptable but vscode just works. If you start using Neovim know you'll be spending hours breaking and updating your config to reach "vimvarna". Let me know if you ever get there ;) you can enjoy the journey getting close to perfect just for something else to break the next day. It is crazy to me people try to shoehorn jupyter notebooks and debugging into Neovim, if you haven't try the jupyter notebook extension in vscode, will make you reevaluate your life choices

Yes it takes quite a lot of effort to get there. Vim motions take weeks to become your second nature, and then you'll probably spend 20-50hours finding plugins and configuring Neovim until you reach the Vimvarna. That's a ton of effort, but like I explained in the other post, I found it being both fun and making me a better programmer as an unintended side effect. Breakages are rare though especially if you use a plugin manager that shows you commits from your current versions of plugins (e.g. lazy.nvim [1]) so that you can see if you need to update anything.

  IMO, not a big deal if you have fun while doing so. I still have to finish elden ring and have already played for 105 hours. 50 hours for Vimvarna are nothing and a time well invested :D
