Truly modern tools, when used as they seem to be intended, aren't skills, they're vague familiarities. Even programming language take only weeks to do useful work in, if you know any similar language. If VSCode vanishes there will be some other similar open source tool, that will probably be better somehow. And I'll probably be up and running fast because everything will be labeled with tooltips. I don't have any custom scripts and modifications, so it's not like I'll be losing a lot. GUI tools are interactive and largely guide the user, so there can be close to zero learning time for the better ones, on simple tasks. There's some learning to be maximally effective, but... everyone else will have that same time too, it's not like you'll be fired or the world ends if you're a little slower for a bit with a new tool. Then again, I don't have any strong muscle memory or spatial thinking ability, so I don't get as attached to details of tools anyway. I just try to make sure everything uses common standard formats like Markdown, and avoid things that are based on customization.
