It depends on the situation and the environment. Let's say you are a freelancer, most probably you'll be creating different new projects. If you are working in a Company, it's highly probable that you'll be maintaining the codebase.
My conclusion is to, use the right tool for right work.
Thanks. I see: I just never saw "editing" as separate from "coding" or that "coding" only meant when it was written the first time.
To me it's just all coding and all editing.
Personally, I used to be a vim power user, and I'm still glad I learned it and still use it very often. However, as my primary editor, VS Code has really taken over for me.
Compared to vim, with VS Code I've never lost a file or even a single edit, I don't have to mess with swap or backup files.
But like others have said, they're tools. They're not religions. Pick the best for the situation and there's no harm in learning something new.
"But really most developers spend more time editing than coding"
huh?

I mean we usually type out our code then spend a lot of time running it, and tweaking it and debugging it right?
At least it applies to me

You can checkout my ~/.vimrc here: github.com/valbaca/dotfiles/blob/m...
And my "virc" which is a more minimal vimrc here: github.com/valbaca/dotfiles/blob/m...
Yeah the swap file thing is real. It's happened to me a few times
