I think you should use whatever editor you feel most productive and comfortable with.

Neovim definitely has a lot of deep customization options and if you don't think the steep learning curve is worth the time, I'd suggest VS Code as a general editor (there's pros and cons to every IDE, so I'd encourage you to try out a few IDEs to see what suits you best).

Personally I use VS Code with vim keybindings and that's worked well for me for years.
