Y'all need emacs or neovim

or webstorm or intellij - I pay for them and their modal based windows allow me to retain my depth of flow vs the irritating side panel based VScode implementation (especially for search) ... and the modal windows are powerful allowing you to edit and navigate inside the preview modal window itself thus preventing small context switches .... I cannot bear vscode

What if I don't want to spend hours every month (in addition to the initial effort) to fix my editor with which I just want to do some damn work with?

I don't why you're getting downvoted you have an actual concern that has been a huge annoyance when using emacs/vim, however, Doom Emacs and to the same extent SpaceVim solve that issue. I'd highly recommend you check them out.
