Fair enough. I get that it takes to much time to setup. But it definetly is possible to get autocompletion and syntax higlighting etc. In a terminal based editor like vim.

I don't mind spending a copule of hours setting up my development environment, since I spend so much time coding anyway. So its a trade off. But if VS code works for you, theb definetly stick with that. I used VS code alot myself but tried exploring other tools and switched to vim. But it nerver hurts to try other things out.
