Many people have the mindset that Vim is old and makes development unnecessary hard it's quite the opposite actually; it's old yes, but no modern editor have matched it's unique method of code editing which is very very efficient once you understand it.

Many other people also believe it doesn't include the fancy bells and whistles of modern editors like auto-complete code linting n code formatting Code splitting :- . This are all lies like most editors, Vim doesn't have some of this features by default, u have to install the required language server.

And a lot of other people thinks Vim is hard to use, this one has some element of truth but it's not actually hard to use it is hard to start using, like how starting to learn programming is harder than actually programming.

Now, to why you should use it too? Using Vim actually feels like you're talking with the editor, like it actually works by taking commands from you and executing them you can command it to go up by 3 lines or right by 3 words; you ask it to change the words inside a quote, then repeat the command for every quoted word in your code, you can ask it to change a whole paragraph, or section. The interesting thing is you won't actually lift your mouse for this, infact your mouse is pretty useless when in Vim because it runs in the terminal, weird right? But not actually have to reach for your mouse every minute prevents you from having to break mental connection with your code and saves you a few milliseconds .

And every functionality can be customised to suit you or extended with a plug-in, it's a really, really nice editor.

What is the memory consumption like, Electron and VSCode wants to make me run mad and I use 16GB as ram imagine.

My people will just be arguing over something that doesn't worth it. One man poison is another one man food IntelliJ idea is OK for me. I love the editor die!!!
Use any editor that is comfortable and convenience for you when you're writing codes.
That is my own take.

Tiny. If you start adding plugins though it can start using a lot of memory

Who was comparing vim to VSCode
