It's the time wasted. Look at a guy merging 30 conflicts in text mode for an hour :D

I think there can be clever specialized vim gurus, but god the ones I work with just struggle so much while idiot me click 3 buttons in an IDE and move on.

We're not paid to be clever, we're paid to make money.

Like I said in the other thread about vscode:

If you assume whatever's been done here's been done wrong it saves the company time and money, we know it's fucked up that's why we called you.

Emacs magit and smerge mode makes this a breeze.
