It's about working on a remote server. Use whatever GUI editor you wish for local use.
VScode can also work on remote files but not as flexibly as running vim on the server side.

True. That's roughly what it says (in other words) in the blurb for this vi quickstart tutorial, and why it is quite applicable for the purposes you said:
I haven't been doing much coding (and I don't think theres much support for Angular and C sharp/dotnet, which is where I left off), but getting fluent in the Vim workflow is on my bucket list.
I never see it ever spoken about from this perspective but its sort of like learning how to drive stick, where you're able to drive anything: if you learn vim, you can code on any computer made in the last 15-20 years, potentially preventing old machines from ending up in a landfill, or allowing you to viably code on the tiniest singleboard pcs without having to worry about whether you're gonna hit the ram limit.
