Well why not visual code + neovim, there's a plugin for that!

Why would you use it like that though? Neovim itself is enough for almost all use cases.

Yes, I just feel more productive being able to navigate with the mouse, quickly scan and jump between files. Having a full vi session for editing would be awesome. The plugin is pokey though, so I stopped using it, ymmv.

It's kinda janky, many neovim plugins don't work inside vscode

For me VSCode feels really slow against Neovim.
