I can exit Vim, it just feels like trying to rip out the dashboard and the interiors from a family car because race cars also lack them. Kate is a good speedy alternative to VSCode, not to mention it also does not have Microsoft's greedy hands on it.

I don't get your analogy, but (neo)vim is a full featured IDE if you configure it to be one

Out of the box, Vim's default configuration is very basic as it's trying to emulate vi as close as possible. It like if you want things like headlights or a heater or a tachometer in your family car, you got to create a vimrc and turn those features on. That was my experience when I first started using Vim - I spent a lot of time messing around creating a vimrc until I got things the way I wanted.

One of the big changes with Neovim is their default settings are a lot more like what you would expect in a modern text editor.

Yeah that's a fair way to look at it
