Meh. I've used both and disagree. Visual Studio is a better IDE. Vim is a better text editor.

Has anyone tried VsVim [1]? It is the best vim experience I've had in any other editor. And I've already tried Sublime's, VSCode's, and others. Most of the vim functions I use are there, but it's been a while since the last time I used VisualStudio, so I don't recall the ones with problem. You can even plug in relative line numbers [2].

The biggest issue is you're still tied to the real crappy windowing of VS, not the much better ones of vim or tmux.

VsVim is getting really good though, it even reads your vimrc these days.
