I've used Neovim prior to trying vscode because it has a language server protocol client extension. Unfortunately, the extension didn't work too well (it had issues with `clangd`) at the time. So, just to compare I installed vscode and was amazed at how polished it was.
Still, I had it in my mind that I wanted to have and fast alternative to vscode so I kept trying to work with Neovim. That is 'till I noticed how much I dislike using vim. You see it has that learning curve that if you've stopped using it for awhile it's a struggle to do basic things. So I used a configuration that made it act more like normal editors. So problem solved? Unfortunately, most extensions are made for a normal vim settup not my easy mode settup. Plus, I started missing having simple things like scrollbars and tabs I could click on and move with the mouse. (I remember the graphical front end for Neovim not meeting these needs at the time.)
So ultimately, I just moved on and stayed with vscode. I would still like an alternative (kedit/k-develop looks promising). However, I'm sort of addicted to the plugins.
