My workflow for years has been using vscode for editing code only and completely ignoring most of its plugins and other features.

The work-issued machine may run windows or macos, but my dev environment always matches the testing/production environment and that's linux (usually ubuntu).

I always have several terminals open for git, docker, tailing logs, watch scripts, etc. Vim is really the only sensible option for editing configuration, writing git commit messages, _viewing logs_ ... can't stress that last one enough. What are you going to do when you need to do more than just grep a single log file? You need an editor that doesn't blow up opening massive files.

Yes it's absolutely worth knowing. Everyone who uses it needs it and everyone who doesn't eventually will.
