It's the only way to be sure Microsoft won't sneakily turn it back on.

At least until they sneak it into VS Code's telemetry. ...only sort of joking.

I spent a couple of weeks trying to get used to vim and in the end I just figured that whatever performance boost I'm supposed to get by not having a UI, I lose by having to learn vim.

People who use it need to be on some kind of government watch list.

pls watchlist me

That's fair though. I mostly made my comment to be irritating/silly. Vim is not for everyone. It took me quite some time to achieve productivity gains, but I was encouraged to keep trying because I was doing a shitload of text editing over SSH. All text editors are valid, provided they're FOSS.
