The neovim integration is better than the main vim plugin IMO, since it's not trying to emulate the myriad features of actual vim. I wish the current top Vim plugin had taken the neovim-as-backend approach. Oh well.
The noevim plugin is decent, and allows most of your vimrc mappings, but it definitely has it's quirks. If the quirks got smoothed out VSCode + neovim plugin might just be perfect.
vim is more of a text sculptor than text editor. the way you work with text is next to magical.
that said, it shows its age. i'm now trying out - with quite some success - vscode with remote-ssh. it's extremely nice to be able to use native OS window and have everything happen on the remote side transparently. the vim plugin works but as usual not everything is good: visual mode doesn't quite work for copying lines, commands are missing, keybindings conflict with native, etc. haven't looked at the neovim integration - next on the list.
