As someone who is a midelevel vimmer and has been using it for 20 years, that's probably true. But the muscle memory is there, and it's standard everywhere. I do get a lot of leverage out of macros and text objects, features which I'm sure have equivalents in IDEs and other editors, but I know how to use them in vim.

I don't think there are IDEs which are as scriptable as (neo)vim or emacs. Am I wrong?
Oh, I have no idea. I assume that they must have some features, but I really only use vim and vscode with vim bindings turned on.
