If you invest the time required to make vim even functional as your main editor then the minimal installation of vim you find when you ssh into those servers will be only slightly less alien to you than it would be to someone who used a functional text editor or ide.
I guess if you value tooling around and spending hours and hours configuring vim to make it still significantly less intuitive, feature rich, and user friendly than most editors come 'out of the box' over and above doing actual software development then we just have different goals.
It all depends on each person if it's not for you, that's Ok. Software Development is not the only thing I do every time I sit on my PC, I'm a long-time Linux user, and everything that allows me to use the touchpad or mouse less is a plus.
I don't need to use Vim for software development, I choose to.

I just clone my dot files to the server and :PlugInstall to get the same Vim setup everywhere.
