I completely share your sentiment. VSCode is by far my favorite programming environment, its killer features as far as I'm concerned are its excellent debugging functionality and the remote mode (we often work on multiple remote machines simultaneously -- being able to have ad-hoc remote configs is a life-saver!)

The worst part is, ironically, the editor itself. As a former vim user I'd love to have vim keybindings, but the vim extensions are painfully slow and unresponsive. I ended up just using the default in spite of it being incredibly mediocre.

Have you tried the vscode-neovim (https://github.com/asvetliakov/vscode-neovim) extension? It uses an instance of neovim to provide the vim behaviour rather than emulating it, and I’ve found it to be more responsive than VsCodeVim.
