I kind of take the best of both worlds. VSCode has a lot of functionality that Neovim lacks, particularly on rendering previews of things like Markdown and Mermaid. Even outside of UI stuff, VSCode's extension ecosystem has so much deeper integration with things (beyond the level of just text/code editing, I mean). The VSCode JS Debug Terminal is literally life-changing. No more needing to mess around with debugger configs for runtimes. Literally just run the code and it works.

Despite that, I still often feel limited by the vim binding plugin for VSCode. It's never a problem though, because Cmd+J toggles the terminal visibility, and I escape into Neovim there when I need it.
