Hey, so this article is 12 years old. VSC didn't exist yet (2015). I used vim because it was installed by default on just about every modern Linux server, so as an admin it was much simpler to just use vi (less easy to fat-finger a config file due to the modal). But I wasn't porting my personal config around 100's of Linux servers, unless when absolutely necessary [not every admin wants the same config]. As far as having a huge ecosystem with vi - has anyone actually done a comparison of number of 'things' that make up an ecosystem and active users between VSC, emacs, vi? I know reddit isn't a good sample size, but looking at subbed users: - vscode 95k - vi 151k - emacs 62k I'm not doubting that vi would have the larger community, but I'd have expected emacs to be larger than vscode on reddit but it is not.
