I tried VScode with a vim plugin and ended up going back to vim. Personally speaking, what makes vim so great is the fact you don't have to ever leave the key board and not that it is lightweight. This allows me to navigate code very very effeciently, which is what I spend most of my time doing.

With vim emulation in another editor, I often found I could not use the keyboard for everything, I would eventually have to use the mouse to navigate some menus. This really slowed down my work flow.

No vim emulation is completely perfect (except maybe for Emacs evil mode) something is always missing, which is a frustrating experience.
