My understanding, as an exclusively nix developer, is that if you’re a Windows dev, all you really have are IDEs. Yes, I know about Cygwin and WSL and the rest, but if you’re a run of the mill Windows developer then your life is centered around Visual Studio and NetBeans and PyCharm and maybe Powershell and maybe maybe cmd.exe if you’re a greybeard.
That vim and bash and all of these terminal-driven ways of developing are the unique privilege (and I do say that unironically) of working with *nix systems.
That’s not to say Windows devs don’t use vim, but in my (limited) experience, it’s about as common as using a gas-powered generator to charge your Tesla.
