I use, or have used, vim bindings in vscode, visual studio on windows, etc etc.

Sometimes you run across large ascii files, e.g csv data files, and vim is the only editor that can open them.

Vim is available virtually everywhere you have a unix-resembling system, including gitbash on windows.

And sometimes you need to edit some config file in a weird environment over ssh and there’s nothing else present.

Oh, and macros can help with laborious file conversion processes. Etc.
