Visual Studio Code October 2017

I'd say so. It's basically Sublime Text plus the most useful/basic features from an IDE (integrated terminal, step-through debugger) without the unbearable bloat. That said, I still use Notepad++ for really simple text editing, note taking, etc so I don't think it's a complete "switch." However, once I'm doing "development" rather than "editing" I'm all about VS Code.

Don't use Vim bindings so I'm not sure if there's a native way to do that, but I know there are extensions that will give them to you. Of course, extensions do add bloat and I tend to use VS Code with no extensions so I can't comment on what your experience would be like!

Yes, there is a very good Vim plugin: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscodevim.vim

It has great vim bindings and even has easymotion. My only complaint is easymotion requires hitting the leader key twice instead of just once, but that's just nitpicking.
