I don't agree. I work in cloud / ssh environments all the time. My main computer is a mac and I need to copy text to and from multiple machines and the host machine. I write C++ and other languages on all the remote machines. https://micro-editor.github.io is the only viable alternative for me as its more modern and supports all the features I would expect from this distributed environment.

While I've only given micro a cursory look, it doesn't seem to have any particularly unique features compared to Vim, and from all appearances it's far less powerful. (This isn't the knock it might seem to be; it's hard to match any editor that's been under fairly active development for 25+ years.) I'm also not sure what you meant by "this distributed environment"; if you're SSHing to cloud servers and running micro in a terminal there, that's "distributed" in exactly the same way people have been running Emacs and Vim for decades.

My main computer is also a Mac and I also need to copy text to and from multiple machines and the host machine, and while I don't write C++, I do write other languages on all the remote machines -- and BBEdit lets me do that a lot more easily, since it has menu commands for save/open over FTP/SFTP. But it's certainly not unique in that regard. (Personally I've found Vim's netrw implementation of this a bit clunky and never got Emacs's functionality for this working quite right, although "Never Got Emacs Working Quite Right" may be my epitaph).

Could you expand on your opinion? "More modern" isn't a very convincing argument.
