Unrelated to this, I've been having issues with VSCode, that also showed up in VSCodium. I've been on old school vim with Konsole terminal tiling and honestly I'm not sure if I want to go back anymore. I'm learning new git tools every day, I'm keeping myself decluttered, and I'm wasting less time tinkering.
Vim/Konsole are an Apples to Oranges comparison. Modern TUIs are closer in feature parity. Personally I use Zellij with NeoVim and LazyVim as the base config. If you use an LLM, customization becomes easier.
Personal preferences are personal preferences though if VSCode is working for you.
That's my point. They're not apples and oranges. A terminal basically always has feature parity with any other tool you want to use.
