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!

Is the overall question here which has more features? It's Vim - syntax highlighting, go to, lots of other things. It's either built in or there's a plug in for everything. Some are a PITA to set up, but I would bet that some things in VS Code are a pain too.
