Why are so many coders still using Vim and Emacs?

Haha I use VSCode set up with Spacemacs keybindings...that way I get the best (and worst) of all 3 worlds (:

Similarly, I use vsvim. I like vim, it’s much more responsive, but setting up vscode to work with debuggers and external tools is so much more streamlined. I do desktop, web and embedded development and have never spent more than half an hour setting everything up. This isn’t true for vim.

The critical piece for me is which-key: it displays available keybindings as-you-type (inspired by the Emacs package of the same name) – https://github.com/VSpaceCode/vscode-which-key
