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!

+1: ed/vi/vim is on every system with a shell, if you can ssh into it, you can edit files using those tools, it's worth knowing them.

Nano is adorable, and EMACS is notoriously huge, both in capabilities and learning curve.
