I would still love to learn vim if only for the nerd credentials. However I cannot imagine how I would reproduce the workflow to even come close to approaching my current productivity level with VS Code.

I'd love to sit down with a vim expert for a day and see how much of my workflow I could replicate.

I'd be willing to take you up on that (well, maybe an hour or so rather than a day). I feel the same about vim - there are certain workflows I have that I can't adequately recreate in other editors, so I keep coming back. I'm curious what your workflow looks like.

I use the Vim plugin within VScode. For me it's really the best of both worlds: Full-blown IDE features along with fast Vim editing. Highly recommend it!

I also use VSCodeVim! One struggle I have though is that navigating with Ctrl+d / Ctrl+u or Shift+[ / Shift+] still opens folds if the cursor lands in the middle of a folded section. Do you run into this also and/or know a fix/workaround?
