No modal/vim mode? (The Googles indicate "no".) I want to love you, Visual Studio Code, but that's a deal-breaker. Looks like the plug-in system is up, so maybe it'll come down the road.

Though it's probably my color-blind eyes, but I couldn't find a stock dark theme that worked for me (first time I've had that out-of-the-box problem).

So between not being able to read the text on the screen that well, and an input model that doesn't fit well with what I'm used to, I guess I'll come back in six months. :-)

EDIT: and no Java syntax highlighting? I understand that it's a beta/WIP, but really? ObjC seems to work okay.

Thanks. VIM mode is high on our roadmap.

We do actually have Java syntax highlighting today, though we don't have statement completion and other richer features for it yet.

Hmm, odd; I pulled up a random Java source file and it was a plain, single color. Not a biggie worth digging into because I don't see using VSC much in it's current state (20-some year vi/vim user here), and I (thankfully <g>) don't do much with Java. Thanks for hanging out and listening to our issues, though. :-)

Hopefully neovim will allow native integration of vim down the line. Vim + plugins is just too good to migrate away from.

We're working on one! Head on here if you'd like to contribute: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim

Agreed -- Vim-mode is my #1 feature ask.

I would prefer compat with the Atom Plugin API so I could just use that.

There absolutely is Java syntax highlighting, I just tried it out of the box.
