I'm a beginner and not currently tied to any specific editor, but I really want to learn Vim motions and eventually switch to Vim. Is it better for me to start with VSCode, IntelliJ, or something else? I'm hoping to make the transition as smooth as possible, so any advice would be appreciated!

If you want to learn Vim, you can actually start using it right away! The editors you mentioned have Vim keybinding extensions, which can help you get familiar with the commands. Just remember, even as a beginner, try to use the editor without the mouse as much as possible. It can be frustrating at first, but it helps you get used to the keyboard shortcuts.
Totally get that! I find those extensions a bit clunky too. It makes it tougher when I'm trying to adapt to Vim's way of doing things.
