VSCode, Visual Studio, and IntelliJ all support vim bindings.

For me, the most useful part of vim is that once you learn how to use it, you can switch text editors without needing to relearn most of their shortcuts.

Every time I try an IDE (admittedly not very often) I end up frustrated that its Vim binding implementation is incomplete. It feels even worse than using its default bindings because I start to feel confident and then suddenly it doesn't work as expected and I feel cheated :-) I guess after a while you learn what to expect from the Vim implementation of your IDE of choice but I haven't yet had the patience to reach that stage.

For this exact reason, I keep going back to vim and doing whatever I was doing on vim instead.

Jetbrains editors have by far the best implementation, but it's not there and I don't think it's possible, due to inherent lag

I think XCode's new vim mode is the only time I've found it truly jarring how incomplete the mode was, but it's certainly better that it's there than not.

Last time I tried za and it didn’t work. These extensions stop right at the impedance raising point, it’s something you should know beforehand.
