Welcome back! VS Code is a very popular code editor that many people use (including myself), so, let’s be a bit critical here, let’s talk about another editor that you may want to use over VS Code, this specific editor is Vim! So, let’s take a look at why this editor may be better than VS Code.

Very Configurable

Vim is also very configurable, if you want your editor to be a certain way, you can configure Vim to change, which increases the capability within Vim as well.

Lightweight

Although VS Code is fairly lightweight as well, Vim is a very lightweight editor, taking up very little resources/memory from your machine (depending on your program). If you’re a developer who is using a machine with very little power, using an editor like Vim could require less power than VS Code.
