I have a real love-hate relationship with Brew. It's great if you keep things updated, but does not play well with older machines and OS versions (e.g. production systems that the customer doesn't keep up to date). I know it's not the real focus of this channel, but it would be interesting for you to compare to working on Linux (latest Gnome is very nice) or Windows (probably WSL, maybe even goofy WSLg).

Dude. Drop the VIM extension. You really are not using it as far as I can tell. I love VIM in the right context. But VS Code has so many other features you are not using like F2 (rename) and CTRL-D multiple select, etc., etc., etc. I use vim exclusively when editing system level files in *NIX like systems like macOS, linux or raspianOS.
