I really don't get your reasons for not using VSCode. You vaguely state in your linked post that it is slow (?) without giving any details. I had a terrible experience with Vim and have gladly stopped wrestling with it in an attempt to cajole it to work fast. I have quit it because there is constant keybinding conflicts between different plugins. Many plugins do not work well with each other. Vim is terrible for C/C++ development. There is no good autocompletion (I tried Deoplete, MuComplete, YouCompleteVim, VimComplete, clang-complete and none of them are as fast as VSCode). There is no good debugging tool (I tried Vimspector, but that is not good at all). Why put yourself through so much torture? You end up wasting time polishing your .vimrc. I am now back to VSCode and Visual Studio IDE. Please don't tell me that these are GBs of harddisk space. In trying various vim plugins, my plugin folder itself was multiple GBs in size as well. In summary, do not use VIM for what it was not meant to be - a good IDE. It is not. It is a good text editor, but just leave it at that.
Well... I think that if I have options, I use the one I like most, right? I found VS Code quite slow in many occasions. For me, this is a big deal. VS Code is good enough, but I liked my experience with Vim and Neovim so far. I have both installed in my system, and don't think I have to stick with just one of them. For code completion, I use CoC (Conquer of Completion) and its plugins, which have been enough for my webdev needs. Many of them are forks of VS Code extensions.
About the "torture" you said, my Vim setup is quite minimalistic. I don't tinker with it too much. It is just one simple file with less than 130 lines. I didn't add a lot of key bindings, I just use Vim as it is. Torture for me is wasting time waiting for a bloated IDE to load and see it using a lot of my resources, with features I don't really care.
I can't argue against you about your C++ development experience in Vim, as it is not a language I worked with. You hated it, and I believe you: Vim is not for everyone. Certainly, Visual Studio does a better job with C++, and if you like it better, there is nothing wrong with that. I'm not here to call every other editor/IDE trash or to convince everyone to knee before the "almighty Vim". I'm not that kind of guy, hahah...

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
