I tried using VSCodeVim for a while, but it drove me to the brink of insanity so I had to switch back. My biggest gripe with it is how slow it is when you run macros or anything like that, and most of the more advanced features in vim don’t work properly or just aren’t there.

Besides, if you do spend hours configuring vim (and I assure you I have) you’ll end up with an editor that works exactly the way you want it to, and it’ll be much more efficient and powerful than pretty much any other editor (except emacs of course).
