Hey man, you got very valid points and I must admit I didn't realize how much stuff I needed till I tried moving from VSCode to vim. Fortunately a lot of people replied to my comment and I have learnt a lot of good stuff in the past week.

I cloned Lunarvim (neovim based) which comes packed with a bunch of plugins and it does cover a lot of the stuff you mentioned. I've seen there are other known configs such as Lvim and Gleipnir, but I can't say which one is better or the differences between one and another.

I'll respond to some of the points you mentioned in case it helps you out.

1 - this is nicely done with Telescope
2 - still learning how to do this, but to be honest I don't think I'll need it so much anymore as I can search for references with Lsp saga (i think that's the name) or I believe you can use built-in vim funcionality by pressing gd
Points 3,7 and 8 slightly similar to this
(link to lsp saga: github.com/glepnir/lspsaga.nvim )

4- language support is a pain in the ass, luckily lunarvim also covers it

I do enjoy a lot working with VSCode + vim plugin though and I 100% understand why you'd stick with VSCode.

Thanks for sharing your experience!
