I get a ton more battery life on vim than I do on vscode and the JetBrains ides. Even when I load up vim with a ton of plugins. Sublime is also better than vscode, so thats a consideration if you like to work and not carry a brick with you. I do agree that for the most part the majority of us with modern computers the ram/cpu is a wash.
That is a much stronger point. To me this factor is still a wash because a) 95% of my development is done on a power cord and b) even if I'm out-and-about on my laptop what kills my battery is other intensive programs (aka FireFox) or running the program I'm working on rather than the editor itself. But I totally get that there are people who need to get more than a few hours out of their laptop at a time and will adjust their tools accordingly.
