Regardless of tool, I have always felt programmers should learn a simple terminal editor if you want to be proficient on *nix boxes. And it should be a basic terminal editor, what you can do in an ansi/vt100 emulator, e.g. no GUI, and not require a heavy editor like Emacs or VSCode etc. This can help make you more efficient and speed up simple tasks. IDE's are awesome, but they come with a lot of weight that just isn't always needed. To this day I still us vi for all my quick checks, small edits etc even on projects within an IDE project (if I don't have the IDE loaded right then). I've been using vi since the 80's so it is just natural for me, but it is super powerful and requires very little resources to use. Even emacs while a pretty awesome editor is much heavier weight than simple vi and serves, IMO, a different purpose.
