There's no need to switch editors for that. The language servers can be used by any editor that supports the language server protocol. As far as I know nobody has written a plugin for Vim yet, but here's a discussion issue on the neovim tracker: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/5522

Also, async completers like deoplete[1] offer non-blocking completion.

However...

I don't think one should "resist". IDEs (VS code is an IDE, at this point) are very powerful. I really wish vim-modes would go away; I would like to see Neovim embedded in VS code and friends, instead. By "embed" I mean: nvim is the text editor, it does everything; it lives in the "document" area of the IDE; and you can bind nvim keys to IDE functions/commands (such as "Open Type...").
