FWIW vim was my first "serious" editor and I switched to Doom Emacs (which defaults vi keybindings) and couldn't be happier. Although tbh if I didn't have vim muscle memory I probably would've landed on VSCode.


same, and I surprisingly found it quicker to get used to doom emacs coming from vim, than it took me to get used to a modern neovim setup which I also tried briefly


VSCode has vim extensions emulating keybindings similarly to Emacs Evil mode.

Although I am not a fun of vim I ended up using one of those when I needed to switch between VScode on Mac and Windows on a daily basis due to uniformity of keybindings. My only wish is for Vim not to use Ctrl key at all. Then difference between Mac and PC keyboards will not affect muscle memory at all.


vscode has a neovim extension you can use that shells out to an actual vim for normal mode. it's better than the emulation one and it's quite fast.
