I was skeptical about Vim, but I was sold once I actually used it. For now in VSCode, I've set my capslock to emit ctrl alt shift, and I've set ctrl alt shift + h/j/k/l for movement, along with a few other Vimish shortcuts. So now i just hold capslock down and keep my fingers on the home keys when I need to move around code, and it's wonderful.
I, too, am a Vim + VS Code user, but I use the Neovim extension. HIGHLY recommend checking that one out instead of VSCodeVim as it much less buggy.
Are people really sure keeping your hands at the exact same (home row) place for hours is ergonomically better than letting your hands move around?
After watching this video I confidently chose wrist pains :)
OP, your examples of you using classical method is very poor. Shift+down for selecting is common yes but "power users" (i.e., those who care about this) would be for other combos (pgdn, pgup, ctrl+shift, home, end). The point is you're suspect to downplaying classical methods over vim.
PS: However, I love visual mode. I prefer having the option to turn that om over full vim.
