I have to ask: Did you just quit Vim the editor or also Vim the keybindings?

Because I can totally see not using the editor, but the keybindings, even the basic ones every emulation plugin manages to do well, are such a big win it's hard for me to believe I'd ever give those up.

Also, at least from my perspective, VSCode and Neovim are eye-to-eye, in the sense that both get most of their magic from interfacing with Language Servers, which both do very well. Though even the more approachable Neovim still seems to have a fetish for configuration/a hatred against sane defaults.
