What do you think about using vim emulation in VSCode?

For me it seems impossible to be productive without the ecosystem of extensions VSCode provides.

I am intrigued by the power of modal editing, but going all-in vim seems a step back with regard do "modern" development workflows.

In vim it appears you have to configure every piece of it from scratch, while in VSCode if you pick a new language it's usually enough to install an extension and you're good to go.
