As long as I a can keep my fingers on the keyboard, and never touch the mouse, I may give it a try.
BTW: unlearning and editor is almost harder than learning a new one. I started with 'ed' in 1984, then 'vi' and plain text terminals (HP-2621) until the mid 1990s, when I get my first actual XTerminal. Then VIM from the mid 1990s until now.
The command aspect is highly underrated by people that don't know the commands. The ability to :>% a full block. Things like that.
I think that is why most long term Vim users sound like they are insane to other people. Note: In the early 2000s, I worked with a guy that only ever programmed on Windows with Visual Studio. We were coediting (side by side) a large file during some architectural changes, discussing it as we went, and I did one of those :g/this_old_thing/s//new_thing/gp changes on the file and he just yelled "stop". I though I had broken something. He just said what did you just do and how did you do that? So I undid, and slowly retyped the line explaining what each step did, and hit enter. He went out and got a vim book that night. I have to apologize for the mental damage that might have caused him (lol). He picked it up quickly, I showed him a couple plugin I use. (I don't use many, mostly plain stock Vim).
I have messed with VSCode a little. I may take a look at Neovim. I looked at it about four years ago, and I guess it just wasn't really ready yet.
