Knowing vim is pretty essential for working on servers. My usual setup is ssh + tmux + vim. I suppose you could substitute nano for vim if it’s installed.
For me personally I am most productive in Neovim. But if you can’t be arsed to fiddle around with config files to get things set up it’s probably not worth the effort.
Having come from full fat visual studio and using fairly fast machines VS code is a breeze to use.
Though I can’t imagine it can compare to commandline stuff in that regard obviously
Is there much reason to learn vim nowadays? I was under the impression it’s mostly around for people who got used to it back in the day

I know I couldn’t.
I’ve not run into a server without nano installed yet and it’s perfectly serviceable if all I need is to edit one value in a config file
If you have to ask, maybe not. But if you’re mostly “keyboard driven”, code and edit files a lot, it’s (vim or neovim) very much worth trying out.

Use what works best for you.
I think I’ll probably end up doing it regardless because I have a weird urge to make everything as difficult and custom as possible
Got used to gnome, finally got it just how I liked it then threw it out for hyprland
It’s great if you get used to it and put in the time to set it the way you want it. I find IDE’s very bloated.
As noted by others, if you do work on remote hosts, it’s priceless. That’s how I got used to it and I now find VSCode slow and unintuitive.
Vscode can actually run over ssh but you need to install the Vscode server which is not ideal for some
