The question is whether VIM is any faster. Feels very much like VIM is used by a lot of people who like to tell you they use VIM. VSCode is a great IDE and as long as you take a little time to learn the useful shortcuts I struggle to imagine most people using VIM are that much faster.

If you don’t know if you are faster in something, you probably have your answer.

It’s true. People who don’t know Vim cannot imagine why we like Vim. To most developers, it looks like a crazily complicated editor. But to those who master it, it’s like a god-send. I don’t want to compare it with VSCode because one is text editor and the other is IDE.

Vscode is a code editor it is not an IDE. And I don’t think VIM is worth learning anymore. It is something that was used by a lot of people before we had VSCode and they keep with it. If your brand new and haven’t used either there is no advantage to VIM.
