What Hacker News says

5 sources
I suspect what you're running into is some kind of crash when running a command. I will say that I don't think we're doing a very good job handling errors, and I suspect it's that most users don't report them (they just press <Esc> and it goes back to normal). For example, this: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/pull/2087 Either way, if you're ever interested in heading back to VSCode and felt disappointed in the Vim mode, check out the progress of https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/pull/1897 or https://github.com/Chillee/VSCodeNeovim. Those should provide a much higher fidelity emulation.
