I've started using the vscode neovim plugin. It runs a headless neovim in the background so you get literally everything that both editors provide in one. It's not 100% flawless but it is damn good.
I used to flip between the two anyway - if I needed a better intellisense for, say, a large typescript project, then vscode won, everything else was nvim. Now I have the intellisense of vscode ontop of neovim.
As a LONG time Vim (now Neovim) user, I've been pretty curious to try this as it would allow me to retain some of my beloved plugins and custom config without the effort of trying to find replacements or reproduce my config stuff. I imagine I could also get rid of most of the language server / autocomplete / code navigation type stuff that comes easier in VS code. It could potentially be the best of both worlds if it's done as well as I'm hoping it is.
I haven't tried it yet, but my main concern is that VS Code probably has a lot of keyboard shortcuts (e.g., C-v for visual block mode) that I'd have to reassign, which could potentially be a bit of a pain initially.
Mind sharing any pros/cons you've run into with the Neovim plugin so far?
I've been using it for a couple months now. It's really quite good and the plugin disables most (all?) of the clashing hotkeys.
The only thing I've noticed is sometimes there's a delay on the Esc key detection to exit insert mode. That could be my binding of CapsLock to Esc/Ctrl though (with a combination of xmodmap and xcape).
I'm also a long time vim user but this has made it bearable to use the same editor as the rest of the team (engineers who need to code, not software engineers) so that they understand what's happening when pair programming etc.
I started with vscode but moved to (neo)vim 2 or 3 years ago. Last year I experimented going back to vscode with one of the vim plugins.
By default there are some conflicting keybinds like ctrl-o and ctrl-v, but these can be disabled in vscode settings.json so wasn’t a problem.
The main feature that doesn’t work over the neovim-vscode rpc bridge is undo tree, that was important to me. You also have to put up with much slower start up times and slower syntax highlighting because vscode uses lsp highlighting.
But the deal breaker for me was losing any vim plug-in with a ui component like fzf, fugitive, and the file tree I like (fern.vim).
It might work for you, some coworkers switched from vim to vscode-neovim and were very happy with the compromise.
