Why waste time learning Vim when you already know how to use VSCode?

The client doesn't care what code editor you use, and your typing speed is not nearly as important, as your ability to problem solve.

You only spend less than a second of your time reaching for a mouse, and most keyboard shortcuts work in vscode anyways. Additionally, if you use a thinkpad, you don't even need to move your hand away from the keyboard to use the mouse.

Instead of learning to type faster, you should learn to write better code so you don't have to spend so much time typing.

VSCode is great and there is still stuff I can do there that doesn't have a parallel in Vim but for 90+% of my daily work I can get the same things done faster in Vim than I can in VSCode.
