This is incorrect. Vim and neovim can reach the same level of functionality as VS Code through plugins and extensive configuration. An experienced vim user with plugins is as fast as an experienced VS Code user with plugins.

Getting vim experience and customizing it has a much steeper initial investment. That’s where the disconnect is.

There is an argument to be made that completely mouseless development is faster. This also requires a steep initial investment to pan out.
