I see that combination working for me. What I don't fully see is what it has to offer that VSCode + vim extension already offers. I also have ctrl + p to open files fast in VSCode. Plus configuration is way easier in VSCode, for example, one thing I really like in VSCode is being able to set line height so code isn't so cramped together.

Another annoying one is syntax highlighting. Last time I used vim it wouldn't recognize React + Typescript (tsx), so then I have to spend a bunch of time just to be able to have that working :/

My feeling is to stay with VSCode and use vim for fast editing.

thanks for adding vifm, didn't know that one

Ya , for a web developer, VS Code Vim is probably the best because the default Vim has some problems with formatting and indenting HTML and CSS. You can get it to work exactly as VSC but it will take a lot of time in configuring it. For me, I think I have invested a lot of time in configuring Neovim to my liking 😅 and plugins like Vim move , quick scope , vim wiki and doge keeps me hooked to it.
