No vim mode is perfect, but they do make other editors bearable. I think vs code’s is the closest one I tried. Though I never really used it as my daily driver.

To me vim mode is just enough to keep me from ragequitting something like Xcode when using vim is practically not an option, but “vim” mode would never be enough to make me use another editor by choice. Vim isn’t just hjkl.

I tried Vim mode in XCode. When I move by paragraph, XCode crashes when it gets to the bottom of the screen.

I understand that XCode Vim mode is lacking a lot of the functionality of Vim, coming nowhere close to even the free XVim plugin. But you think they could at least make sure the few features they do include aren't completely broken.
