Depends how you define better. If you do something very often a steep learning curve with long term payoff can be the better UX seen as a whole.

I use almost only VSCode mind you, but I can see the argument here. I know a bit of vim and it is practical when configuring servers via PUTTY. For bigger projects I find it very lacking.
