I also went through this phase about a year ago, then just gave up and went with VSCode for its superior out of the box experience. That said, I still fire up vim to read files in a server or make one line config changes, but everything else....VSCode.

I've just come around to accept that we've been blessed with great hardware over the years, and it's a waste if those extra CPU / GPU cycles aren't translated to significant dev productivity improvements. I'd take slower (~ ms) editor paint times over saving hours messing with vim configurations.

What's hard about this?

    rsync -a dir/ server:dir/
I'd much rather have commands in my terminal where I can search for them later than do things visually and have no record of what I did once and how to repeat it.
