> I'm not particularly keen to have my VCS and my code editing in the same software really, although I wouldn't say that it's a superior approach.

Addendum: I'm also not always using VSCode. Sometimes I just use vim if I'm already in my terminal and it's a small edit, at which point I don't want to have to go back to VSCode (potentially having to open the project) just for git

I thought I was a weirdo for splitting my usage between VSCode and nvim. I do the same! And I don't even use any fancy vim features. I think it's a mental separation for me: "right now, I am doing sysadmin stuff and need to have my sysadmin brain on" vs "right now, I am developing software and need to have my software brain on", but I'm not even really sure about that.

My workflow is similar. For one larger project, I am just more comfortable operating in VSCode, but if I need to work in a smaller project, I tend to just fire up NeoVim, and I've found the transition to Lazygit to be fairly smooth.
