I was using the other vim extension for years. I had tried the neovim one as well a few years ago and I ran into so many bugs that I switched back after 1/2 day. I am sure it's better today, but I can see that there is still an open issue with folding, for instance.
The thing is that I used to consider headless Neovim to be the ultimate solution to "vim but with IDE conveniences" but I am no longer so sure. Keeping everything in sync between the two editors just seems like a task that's doomed to fail in many small paper-cut like ways. What I am doing now is much more like adding a few things on top but leaving VSCode in charge, letting it do its thing the way it was designed to.
