Is it that weird editor they tend to put on our distro these days were we end up having a lot of i x r R :s/foo/bar :w and :q embedded in the text and that we need to close quickly in fear of adding syntax error before doing an EDITOR=vi ?
I would say the problem is not to not know which app you are using but muscular reflexes. Sames happen to me if I open gedit, notepad.exe or even an text processor such as writer or word.
I had to put vim binding to make vscode bareable otherwise I kept making errors.
