Well it is quite personal. I did not mention in my post but I use vscode and VIM extension for vscode has weird bugs. Also I prefer to keep pressing capslock rather than toggling functionality because I usually find myself confused about which mode I am in. But again this is quite personal.
It is only about a habit. When you will use it for some time so then it become the new norm for you :) With toggling you can have more various modes which you can combine (normal, input, select, record macro, etc..) without using of mouse or any other additional keyboard keys. This make vim so powerful without any other plugins.
Now I am using IntelliJ Idea with Vim plugin and it works perfect. VS Code I tried in the past without any big problem but I am not using it right now so I don't know what bugs can be there.. :)
This is basically what the Colemak community calls an Extend Layer.
I don't think solving the problem for just one application is equivalent. I have been using a ubiquitous Extend layer for a while now and I think it's an excellent pattern. I use other tools to implement my keyboard layout that I believe are more powerful than AutoHotkey and work on multiple operating systems.
As a side note, after using Caps lock to activate the layer for a while I realized it was more practical to bind it to the spacebar, but to do that some safeguards have to be in place so it does not interfere with your typing.
