The well known “Vim mode paradox”: if you like the Vim mode provided by another editor, it means you don’t know Vim well enough to justify using Vim nor Vim mode. Vim modes don’t approach even 10% of the Vim features you need to reach the bare minimum of efficient editing.
Trying it out again now, this isn't Vim, it's an entirely different product. It doesn't have command editing mode q: nor q/. It doesn't use Vim's regexes and doesn't support \v (which is probably good, Vim's regexes are very bad, but it's still not Vim). There is limited support for windowing, I mean not really support at all, because this is a better windowing system that Vim (:h CTRL-W_J). Although I am surprised `ctrl-w +` works. Of course no support for Vim plugins like surround.vim. Vim out of the box is not a usable editor. H and L seem to be busted and scroll the screen.
Still trying it, no `:norm`, no `:g`, multiple cursors in VSCode are so much more powerful than this, and already do 90% of what you want to do in Vim in the first place.
