Maybe because it’s all easy to find. You don’t need years of experience, just search for the plug-in you need. Sure it’s probably worse, not really portable and possibly insecure, but the barriers of entry are so low that it works great for most people.

Precisely this, kitted-out vim in the hands of someone experienced is a force multiplier but it's uh, 'late-game'. VSCode and the like take absolutely minimal brainpower and experience for near-enough similar gains (for most users, I would say).

I say this as someone who uses both the editors I mention depending on context.
