I can understand the argument. I use VS Code. It runs on Windows, Linux,
and presumably macOS. Vim is the same.  What's more, I use VS Code with
extensions rather than Geany, Thonny, Mu, Arduino, R Studio, PyCharm, and
so forth because it mostly works the same. I also use the Vim extension so
the editor works like Vim.

Some of the other editors or IDEs may have an advantage for their
particular specialization but it doesn't make up for learning their
individual quirks.

Lucky for me almost everything I use is the same on Windows and Linux.
