Actually I have not even seen the free versions yet as I was always priviliged with the paid ones by my school.
I do not think I'll check them out though, already invested time in configuring and you know... sunk cost fallacy :D
Not as much as you think. Learning vim translates to a lot of things. I started learning vim by using vim emulator on vscode for a week, once I was comfortable with moving around in a file I moved to using neovim, learned lua to set it up the way I wanted. Eventually ended up just using lazyvim with some custom opts, custom keybindings and plugins I like.
But the point really is, what you learn in vim can be carried to most (if not all) code editors. Most will have a way to setup custom key bindings or a vim emulator.
I say that because there are times when you need to use a code editor that most devs use (mostly vscode) to work with other devs. And for those times, I really appreciate that I can keep using vim motion and key bindings.
