    I've only tried vim bindings in VS code so that may be why my opinion is as it is. The work I do tends to not be limited by not using a full ide. Mostly running grep -re <string> in a directory to find references is just as fast as an ide search. I find switching to a mouse often while editing just so frustrating.

      Ah, that makes sense. I didn't like the extension in VS code as much. I have pretty bad carpal tunnel so I also avoid switching to a mouse as much as possible; it's great vim keybindings make this a lot easier.
