you totally can! I could talk for a while about customization and ctags to address some other points you made but at the end of the day its a text editor, vim and vscode are both text editors. it sounds like you really like using vscode so you should stick with it, I really love vim and it works really well for me, and my boss loves using a near vanilla sublimetext 2 install. programming will never be about typing and editing speed but being comfortable with your development environment and hopefully even enjoying it is very important.
