I like VScodium and VIM although I have also been using Kate and nano as of late.

The comparison is bad. It's more like comparing a kind of crappy car to a nice unicycle once you factor in UX. Not everyone likes to punch in key combinations so complicated it's making game cheats look simple in comparison.
This is sarcasm right? Right?
Nah. As a die hard Vim user, I can explain all day long why a flexible shared common editing experience across a team is a great idea, and why VSCodium is the obvious choice.
And I'll explain and agree in principle all day long from the familiar beloved comfort of my Vim editor.
I don't mind Vim, it reminds me of my years using EDT on Vax/VMS systems in the 80s and 90s. My fingers knew all the function keys so well, the UI was almost invisible. But more recent years of using Windows because of work have ingrained VS and VSCode the same way, and I like the feel of the mouse.
I just really can't stand lua
If by any chance here's someone else using vis, I salute you!
vis is such a neat idea, i followed it years ago. any good plugins yet? i really love the structural regex workflow but since kakoune/helix hijacked my muscle memory i would need more support for external tools to go full vis...
The thing about good plugins is relative - I just have vis-pairs, but I am not a seasoned developer (I'm not even a formal developer/CS person, just a graphic designer doing frontend and a tiny bit of backend!) so I don't really miss anything else. vis' phylosophy relies on the unix-as-ide concept, though. Still I do know that there is stuff like a LSP plugin.
What I really miss from vim is buffers. vis still does not have a client/server feature so you still have to rely in its allegedly temporary split panes kinda solution. It seems vis' main developer got some personal issues going on so volunteers are doing some little changes here and there but with so few manpower it doesn't seem like those needed big changes are happening anytime soon. Hence why I'm trying to spread its gospel in hopes to get people interested in contributing to it.
i thought vis specifically wanted to remain single-file?
No, for example I can open two or more splits (horizontal or vertical) - the catch there is that I can't open an horizontal split AND a vertical split. If I have two horizontal splits and want a vertical one, the previous two would go vertical (?). I read somewhere on the issues list that this was rather a temporary solution to be able to "see"/"edit" more than one file at the same time.
Not to mention there aren't things like tabs or windows. They want to let that be managed by a window manager, which sounds like the sane thing to do, but as I was telling before - not enough people with enough time to pull that off. The discussion about the RPC interface goes from a while back: https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/59

Me but in reverse
I feel like I need to learn VIM at some point because various system tools have a habit of using it. (rpmrebuild and the man pages come to mind) It just comes up here and there even if you don't care for it.
