I personally don't consider vim as an editor, to me it's rather an editing engine, which can be used for Editors/IDEs. You can activate the vim engine in Emacs, VSCode, IntelliJ, etc. I think it's the most powerful text editing engine out there.
VSCode does a pretty good job implementing the vim engine, IMHO. They integrate neovim directly [0]. The plugin has almost 2 million downloads, btw.
I think the future of vim is not "vim the editor", I think it's "vim the engine".
I guess this is also the reason why Vim is so much higher than Emacs in the stackoverflow survey.
