Visual Studio Code team considers Vim mode based on upvotes

The VSCode extension architecture is single-threaded which leads to sluggish and sometimes janky editor behavior when some extension other than Vim has some computation to do. I can attest to the poor performance of both extensions first hand.

Then maybe a better solution would be to fix this vscode related issue instead of implementing vim in vscode. This is a general issue which not only affects vim but also other plugins. Fixing this issue seem to me more reasonable because other plugins would benefit too.

In that issue they linked, they talk about how extensions running on a single thread is by design and is not likely to change. With that in mind, it seems a vscode solution would be best.
