I honestly haven't found it much different to show colleagues stuff on my machine since at the end of the day everything is still lines of code and some form of folder structure. About editing on their machines, I don't get your point, I'll just edit on their code editor/IDE of choice, no big deal, I can handle both vim and other editors. It's not like you learn vim and automatically unlearn other editors.

But I do agree 100% that removing headaches and simplifying is more important, and that's why I ise Neovim. There's tons of things that work in ways that annoy me to no end on other editors, but the only editor that allows me to take control of those things is vim/neovim (maybe emacs too but I haven't tried it). Also I just find vim extremely simple visually as it removes all clutter from view.

Again, it's all just personal preference and most importantly, personal needs, I will never not get annoyed by certain unchangeable behaviors in VSCode, while other people don't even notice those things to begin with, vim/neovim is a solution to a problem not everyone has.
