You know you are a text editor enthusiast when you spend 60% of your time fiddling with your config, 30% of your time writing about it, and 10% of your time working on something useful/interesting. Just use VS Code.
It's a matter of discipline. I've been migrating slowly to nvim, initially through motions in vscode and later by using both whenever I was lacking some features.
After the initial setup phase where things were constantly added and tweaked, LSPs configured and so on I've not made any sweeping changes to the config in the last year and a half. I even changed jobs and languages halfway through and everything remained fairly consistent other than adding the new LSP.
Technical minimalism is a conscious choice, the same exact problem can come from vscode with fifty plugins and conflicting keybindings.
I can fall into this trap(?). It's probably a simple equation along the lines of the time saved needing exceed the time spent optimising (and all associated activities). The same thing can apply to productivity software, hardware, etc. There are probably diminishing returns. There's also the opportunity cost of using the same time practicing a skill that could lead to a greater efficiency benefit. I do know people get a kick out of tinkering with their tools, however, so it's not just efficiency.
