Easy usage over SSH and on battery-powered laptops, etc. Like I learnt vi originally because it was the only text editor on an air-gapped machine (since it had to connect to loads of obscure equipment) used for setting up psychology experiments in a lab I was an intern in. I then used it on an Intel Atom 11" netbook for years as a student (I could only have one app open on a workspace at a time - everything had to be full-screen). And then used it loads over SSH when working with a remote desktop and build server at a FAANG. Both Emacs and Vim are so versatile in that respect.
