Oh come on. It doesn't even "vimify" things in other than the file editor, which basically is the same for every app with vim emulation. Vim feels amazing in Neovim. In other IDEs, if you aspire to be an "advanced vimmer", you'd quickly hit a bunch of limitations. The most significant one is that you cannot vimify things in every tool window
In Emacs, you can "Evilify" pretty much any buffer, allowing vim-navigation use in Dired and Magit, and anywhere else (even in the minibuffer). You also have the ability to extend any command, adding extra features like custom ex-commands, for instance. As far as I know, such functionality is not even available in vanilla Vim. Hoping for similar features in IDEAVim or the VSCode Vim plugins is wishful thinking.
Besides, even with barebones, after installing Vim plugin in VSCode (I tried multiple) there's some noticeable latency, while my Emacs instance, with over 300 added plugins still feels zippy.
