Maybe... but OTOH, the IDEs that come after VSCode will still follow the UI guidelines that have been established for GUI tools during the last ~40 years, e.g. having menus where you can find out which functions are available, and then memorize the shortcuts for the functions you use most often, rather than having to learn everything "up front" before being able to become productive. I suspect one reason for the longevity of vim is the time that you have to invest in learning it...
