I started with emacs back in the VT220 days (we didn't have tmux/screen in VAXen, nor in Ultrix, and the mail reader was great), moved to vim in the Slackware years, and now switch between VS Code and nvim on my Mac without any qualms. Sometimes I even run nvim inside the VS Code terminal for quick edits.
I am this close to running VSCode inside a VM. The plugins have seemingly no sandboxing. Microsoft has repeatedly demonstrated they view my analytics as their right. Why should I trust this to access my home?
Maybe the vi crew is actually onto something.
