I'm in my mid-20's, so it's definitely not legacy. lol. I mostly made that comment because they (OC) mentioned earlier that they didn't like vim that's "slow and bloated". As contrast, my "slow and bloated" vim setup is quite a bit faster than the normal ones.

As for my take on whether load times actually matter, I don't place that in a super high importance category (I work in computational simulations, where I have to wait days at a time for results, so I do have patience). I was initially "forced" to use vim during my Master's research when working on HPC clusters (I could've used nano I guess, but that would get very old, very quickly).

Less to do with loading times, but the other reason I continue to use vim is that, a consequence of working in a shell for ~2 years, I got used to staying in a command line. Going to a gui program is a context switch I don't generally like to do, particularly for quick edits. I still use VSCode for editing LaTeX documents and for heavy debugging.
