If you won't hire anyone using vim, you might not want to hire anyone using VS Code, I would say since most of "modern vim" users share LSP usage.

But better yet, if you will hire people based on their tools and not their skills, you might want to stay away from that department.

That is exactly diametrically opposite what I said. And I did not discuss “tools” just the vi/vim cult.

I don’t have a problem with someone using vi/vim so long as it isn’t a cult.

I don’t care about tools or how many ways someone can write code to identify a palindrome or generate Fibonacci. I care vastly more about how people think, how creative they are, their attention to detail, resiliency, philosophy when faced with failure, ability to learn, approach to facing areas where they might be weak, ability to communicate, organizational skills, honesty, humbleness and more.

Notice I could not care less about coding speed or someone being a code puzzle database or how quickly they can enter 300 lines if code. In the context of what real work is about these things are as irrelevant as what brand if shoes they wear.

I suspect the key phrase there was "insists on." And I can see where they're coming from. If choice of editor is so important to someone's programming style that they won't accept anything else, it makes me suspect their priorities are misplaced.
