My first go at vim was an accident. I was using git and ended up there. I later tried to change the editor invoked by git to something else, but have concluded that was dumb and the only real option is to learn vim. It's still on my todo list. As is the actual OSS work I want to contribute after climbing this hill. It should not be this way.

You don't ever tick that item on the todo list. Learning vim is a never-ending path to wisdom.

VScode's text editing/ diff/ git tool is really good.

It helps that VScode is also my editor of choice in general.
