If someone likes to use vim, then so be it. If someone likes to use VSCode, then so be it. IDEs can also be called productive mode and use the right amount of resources necessary for large projects. They will get the job done, and for many it is the preferred option.

Vim doesn’t have to be the tool you use when there are others. If it was the only tool, I’d agree that people should know it better. Thankfully it’s not the only one.
