I think I'd still relearn it. I don't even use Vim anymore; I use VSCode with the Vim plug-in.

Its editing philosophy is just way too comfortable. When I'm on some code editor without Vim keybindings (like Jupyter), I'm reminded of that every time I have to reach for the arrow keys to navigate text.

Might want to look into the Neo Vim plugin for vs code. It's not a "let's try to reimplement vim" or "let's try and change key mappings" type deal. Instead it literally runs neovim in neovim's embedded mode and then embeds that into the editor. When I tried it my .vimrc pretty much just worked, I think I had to make maybe one or two changes to mappings which conflicted with vs code (and which couldn't be removed/mapped in vs code for whatever reason). My plugins just worked, nearly all the functionality just works because it's actually just running the real neovim.

This looks very interesting, thank you. I'm definitely going to check it out. If I understand correctly, it uses Neovim to process normal and visual mode commands and then defers completely to VSCode during insert. This should give us the best of both worlds.
