I work on many different systems, some ancient and some embedded, some both. Vim and friends are ubiquitous. It’s a tool I’ve learned to use effectively by necessity, because other editors weren’t always available.
As an example, many routers don’t offer a graphical environment. There is no option to use something like Visual Studio or notepad++ without shuffling files around.
