Speaking of vim - adding and configuring copilot plugin for vim is easy (it runs a nodejs app in the background but if you have spare 500 Mb RAM it's invisible).
Copilot in vim is not the same as cursor. e.g. There is no multiline tab autocomplete.
All the major players offer a CLI, for what it’s worth.
You won’t need Vim except to review changes and tweak some things if you feel like it.
Overall I don't quite agree. Personally this applies to me, I've been using vim for the last decade so any AI tooling that wants me to run some electron app is a non starter. But many of my senior peers coming from VS Code have no such barriers
