No not really. Granted I've never used any of the emulators (outside of firefox) but vim is so much more than handy keybindings for editing text. It's difficult to explain and has to be experienced. And even if the integration is 1:1 it won't help with resources so I don't see the point.
Resources was my only motivation when I made the switch, had to because everything was electron and my laptop couldn't handle it. Now I'm a few years in and whenever I get tired of doing something repetitive I create a keybinding to perform that action.
A recent example is take the current filename (%) remove the extension (:r) and run it with valgrind to monitor memory usage. Bind it to <leader>vg and it looks like this:
nnoremap <leader>vg :!valgrind ./%:r<CR>
When I hit it in the file 'my-program.c' it runs 'valgrind ./my-program' and I get the output in the built-in terminal. Very simple example but shows how easy it is to add any command-line tool you want without reaching for plugins, and integrate into your workflow instead of inheriting someone else's. Any command and combination of keypresses can be turned into a keybinding.
I understand it's not for everyone, but comparing it to vscode and judging from that perspective is missing the point entirely. I don't type letters when I edit code, I execute and compose commands, it's a different mindset.
