20 years ago, this list would have had a bunch of different names on it.

20 years from now, it will be different names still.

Meanwhile, vim will still be there, and my knowledge in it built 20 years ago will be serving me still 20 years from now.

Knowledge between modern editors and IDEs is generally highly transferrable. You don’t magically forget how to copy / paste when going from Pycharm -> VScode.
