Vim mode on VScode is pretty easy. Msft nailed VScode by making it an easy electron app that gets up and running . An improved sublime.

When I tried vim mode on VSCode it seemed to have extremely few vim features. So it's basically more to get the vim keys. That was one of several reasons why I didn't like VSCode.

I suppose it depends on what vim features you use but it hits the sweet spot for me now. I frequently use macros and block editing, as well as tim pope’s surround.

I hit edge cases occasionally still though I can’t think of a specific one right now. When it happens I sometimes open vscode’s terminal panel and Do a quick edit in nvim on the spot without leaving vscode.

Vscode has replaced putty for me in my workflow.
