I'm okay with Vim being slightly harder to learn to use than VS Code. A tougher learning curve in exchange for more powerful tools can be a good tradeoff.

I think this is a good comparison, and exactly shows the problem: Vim is only used by a minority of developers, the majority use some kind of graphical editor (like VS Code). That doesn't mean learning Vim isn't a good tradeoff, it's just not a good tradeoff for the majority of people.
