The issue with Vim is that the editor has several hundred/thousand idioms and everybody uses a different subset. As an example, most people delete words with `dw` while I usually use `dt<space>` because the t/f motions generalize to subwords. Until you have the majority of your personal subset implemented, vim support in a given editor is "bad".

I've thought about doing a vim implementation for years where motions are expressed as composable functions projecting from text range to text range with commands taking a list of text ranges, mostly because I'd like to whether non-text based motions (e.g. AST based or generalized cursors) would work. I like VSCode and expect to move over to it so I've thought about starting my project but the scope of doing a good implementation is daunting.

Congrats on the 1.0 release, VSCode is a great product.
