I don't need parity with VS code. If I want LSP and all kinds of distractions, binging and bonging, and crap jumping out and highlighting at me... I'll use VS code (don't get me wrong, sometimes those distractions are useful).

Sometimes I need a terminal text editor. Something to quickly edit a config file, or perhaps even write something more substantial. Vim and Neovim are perfect and available on pretty much any machine which you'll have a terminal open to access.
