It is not abnormal. I used to use pico as my terminal editor and nedit as X editor the first five years or so I used Linux / Unix. Today I use VSCode as well, but vi rather than pico (nano). Over the course of many years I got more and more comfortable with it. It was never really a conscious choice. But it is always there. Perhaps it was the times I needed to fix things when booting in emergency mode that forced me to learn vim enough to get by, and eventually proficient.
