I tried a couple of times and it's still magic to see anyone able to use it properly
I'll just stick to VScode for now I guess

PSA: run vimtutor in the terminal
Oooh that's a handy feature I didn't know about
This is exactly how I learned all those years ago, and to this day, I still use vim regularly. As in, literally, I was using it on a server this morning to make some changes. It's just become natural to me now.
By the way, the vim extension for VScode is great, so why not combine both.
The only way to learn to use it is to use it. It's OK if you don't but using it will get you there. I've been a vi & vim user since the 90's and I'm still learning new things.

I have about 30 years of my career left. That's not enough time for the return on investment of learning VIM to payout.
Eh. I know the basics. I can open, do some very basic editng, save and close. That's about as much as is really needed, right?
You can close VIM? Fucking legend.
