You can use vim keybindings in VSCode. It mostly works, except for more advanced stuff.

Correct indentation when pasting is a pain in my opinion.

And somehow I find the VSCode's multi-cursor feature so much more convenient than Vim's macros.

That’s not an unpopular opinion, I suspect it’s because multiple cursors provide an extremely tight visual feedback loop (feedback after every action) as compared to macros where you kind of just shove actions into a black box and pray it works correctly for the next location you test it on
