I would pay a lot of money for a curated vim distribution that works out of the box. I've used vim heavily for years, and still nothing compares to it when things are working well, but every time I want to change something I get so frustrated. Every extension uses it's own set of principles, the learning curve is steep, error messages super vague.

If anyone is looking for a side-hustle, I'd be your first customer

Honestly, there is not a lot of Vim I really miss. Yeah, macros with motion commands are cool, but in many cases VSCode's multi-cursor is sufficient.

Editing code in Vim is probably faster, but that speedup is neglectable if you are missing precise go-to-definition or auto-completion instead.

When it's set up nicely it works great, but any modifications are a pain. Also i can't put in words how much i hate using the mouse, after having tmux+vim+tiling wm set up

VSCode + vim plugins are this for me. Best of both worlds
