Vim is charity ware actually or at least that's how it was qualified when I started using it. Most of the long time vim users I know have donated several times. Vim and Emacs also have shit loads of plugins, which can make them behave just like Atom or VSCode so as usual I think it's just a matter of preference.

I am yet to know anyone that gave any money to Vim.

Would those shit loads of plugins exist if people had to pay for them?
