Why use VIM/Nano/Emacs over VS Code? (lemmy.ml)

Hey everyone!

I was just wondering why one would use any of the programs I mentioned above instead of VS Code to write Code.

Can someone give me a brief overview of the advantages?

Thanks in advance!

Vim/neovim with plugins does exactly the same but uses less system resources. Lunarvim is a good place to start for a preconfigured neovim IDE.

Emacs will also be similar but I'm not as familiar with it.

There is also LazyVim which I personally am loving
