  • Vim still has some stuff going for it that isn’t (at least built into) vscode.

    • The vscode vim plugin is still very slow compared to vim (running a global normal command on a few lines makes it chug iirc. Not to mention macros are pretty slow comparatively)
    • The vscode tab behavior is frustrating to use coming from vim. Why are tabs specific to each split? How do I switch between buffers with just the keyboard?
    • Vim has built in utilities to process the contents of a buffer through any program on your path. Think formatting a buffer with jq.
    • some Vim plugins are just really good. Fugitive for git for example.

    Is any of this worth learning vim for? I don’t know 🙂
