Pros

Vim is already installed on any Unix-like system, which means you can edit files directly on a server (a genuine superpower) Vim is lightweight compared to most text editors and IDEs, so it runs fast and efficiently on even the most modest hardware

Cons

Sometimes, while developing HTML/CSS-based applications the SIDE preview plugin does not work properly.

Would be nice if it had better Java support, the extension is getting close but still not as good as Eclipse.

Not a fan of many of the default shortcut keys (e.g. find all references).

 

It would be nice to create folders within Microsoft Visual Studio Code instead of creating them on your computer first.

Would be nice to use sticky keys so you can save CLs and your program name instead of typing it each time.

It autosaves some things I never intended to save like random code thoughts which is kind of annoying.
