If what you need to do is cut down bunch of trees then chainsaw is exactly what you need. No one in their right minds would start with a knife and start building it into a saw and then attach a motor to motorize it. Mind you we were carving a bowl, but as per Internet argument you completely dismissed the use case and inserted your own.
If VSCode does exactly what you need out of the box exactly how you want it to do it, then you are set and you should use VSCode.
The problem is that Vim can be used to create config files and source code files among other things. VS Code can be used for very much the same things.
The output of both tools is practically the same thing.
The niche of things Vim can do and VS Code can't is tiny and constantly decreasing.
It's always been like this. Vim is an editor, and so is Sublime Text, Emacs, VS Code, Geany, Kate, Notepad++, and more. What sets vim apart is its ubiquity (it's been on every Linux box I touched) and its philosophy of editing text (modal editing). Apart from that, it's a matter of preferences and practicality.
I can think of a few YouTubers who would and probably have done just what you described. Now that I say that though, I realized you used the phrase "right mind" and I don't think I'd count many if any in that cohort.
Chainsaw is very good at doing chainsaw things.
