My personal experience years ago was that there was a cool factor, and I learned it, and it's still a pain to use (compared to let's say VS Code), and I think that cool factor was just never a thing.

I agree there's a certain respect afforded to people who are adept with terminal editors, but there is a practical reason to master them: they're always there, no matter how many layers of SSH you've gone through to get where you are.
