I’m not married to an editor so much as my bindings. I’d really hate to use an editor/ide that doesn’t have a decent implementation of at least some vim bindings, though I have to sometimes.

Ultimately I think it’s familiarity and a subtle fear that learning any new system will be a time sink.

Agreed, and it's extremely annoying that VS Code has different default bindings on different platforms. I switch between Windows and Linux a lot and there's no simple way to e.g. say "use the default Windows bindings on Linux" or vice-versa.

I have to manually create my own keybindings and then copy them to every machine and then bother with keeping them in sync.

I'm using the IntelliJ bindings plugin together with the VIM bindings and get almost constantly the same bindings on all platforms that way...
