Vim/Emacs are editors for those who want absolute precision. Eg. I want Y to do X when in running a test file, or i want to pipe this selevtion to sort/awk etc.

When using (neo)vim you need to think like you are using unix, not an ide like vscode.

If you fight this you will loose.

Its about building an editor that works for YOU, and not the kitchen sink like vscode/jetbrains bloat.
