Why use VIM/Nano/Emacs over VS Code? (lemmy.ml)

Hey everyone!

I was just wondering why one would use any of the programs I mentioned above instead of VS Code to write Code.

Can someone give me a brief overview of the advantages?

Thanks in advance!

Exactly, I think it just comes down to being good practice. There's a 99.99% chance that any unfamiliar system has one of vi, vim, emacs. Not bad to be familiar with one or each.
