I've enjoyed JetBrains over either so far.

The best thing about Vim is that despite having all the features of a modern IDE it starts in 0.1s and you can start editing right away while the code data is loading asynchronously.
The worst thing about Vim is that... just kidding, there's nothing bad about it.
Vscode I'm always like all right let's code... Ah shit, the "what's new" window has popped up again in the middle of my typing...

0.1s is way too long, you need to optimize your startup time. /s

I remapped the power button of my computer to whatever that series of keypresses is that exits vim.
that series of keypresses is that exits vim
One of the great mysteries of the universe. However, I can confirm that my standard power button also exits vim.

Do you mean Neovim?
Surely you aren't comparing a flat text editor to an IDE that has language server support, debuggers and refactoring tools?
Vim and VS Code are both text editors that can become IDEs with plugins. You can use vim with language servers if you want, as there are plugins for it.

I only use butterfly flaps that move magnetic needles next to my HDD.
Like a real programmer would.
I like VSCodium, a vscode build without ms telemetry and such
sounds interesting enough to try, thanks! :D
itβs identical to vscode, except that a few extensions donβt work (notably, intellicode and the ms c/c++ extensions)
HAHAHAHA I know the secret passcode to escape!
Incidentally, it's ctrl+]. But I remap it to 'kj', and somehow have never typed 'blackjack' in all my years of using Vim!

Wouldn't the one that ops you into telemetry be the trap?
I used to know a developer who wrote all his code in Notepad. This was around 2005 or 6. We had just starting to replace our legacy ASP code with ASP.Net, which he was determined to do in Notepad. I was gone before I could see how that worked out.
Vim and VScode are my favorite code editors but I admit that Vim is better :]

vim was such an unimaginable improvement over nano for doing stuff on linux servers. Having an in-shell-editor search-and-replace function alone is worth everything you have to do to learn vim.
And after I was comfortable around vim because of all the "training" on servers, I just switched to vim fulltime. No more GUI editor for me!
Nanos search and replace is Alt+R as far as I remember
Ha, that would've helped me a few times. Good to know!
Still, I wouldn't switch vim for nano ever again. nano is a good and easy start, but I think if you do more than just basic editing of a few files every now and then, learning vim is the way to go.
vim is pretty customizable, widespread and it has been around for quite some time after all. If you think you need it, somebody most likely already made it as a vim-plugin :)
You will be tempted to think that by learning how to use (neo)VIM your coding skills will magically improve tenfold.
It won't
Wait really? Shit Iβm like 1 year into learning vim. What editor should I switch to that will magically make me a good coder?
Jokes aside, all of my favorite IDEs have an option to use VIM key bindings so learning VIM makes it easier to learn other IDEs.
That alone was enough to convince me to learn VIM
vscodium slightly better than vscode tho.
honestly all ide's are rubbish - especially electron ones. for a gui editor, i've just gone back to sublime text and have never been happier.
