Most of these tools I tie in with vim hotkeys to shoot off various things. For example, I use telescope to jump between different git worktrees using vim motions or when using tmux I have vim motions mapped to maneuvering around panes (tmux cmd + hjkl) or going back to previous window (tmux cmd + o).

I'm not saying you can't learn to use these tools without vim/emacs but in my limited work experience those developers that use vscode for everything tend to be completely lost when the terminal takes the fullscreen.
