Vim is definitely my first love, but I have to admit that I spend time between Vim and VS Code.

What makes Vim so appealing to me is that it’s lightweight - meaning it doesn’t take a great deal of time to open like an IDE would. I prefer to keep everything in the terminal if I can or one app if I can like VS Code does.

Do you use a lot of Vim plugins to behave more like VS code?

Not really tbh. I like a more stripped down Vim here in my later years of coding. I used to use Janus and on some machines I still have Janus installed.
