Its better, has first-class multi-cursor support, and you don't need to install any plugins to get it usable. Also has LSP support for pretty much every language. IMO its a true successor to vim, which is so old now its like a leaky roof that needs constant repairs (in the form of plugins).

i've been considering trying to start using vim recently, but now i don't know really, are they too different to learn to use? i'd love to spend time on something i'll end up using for years hopefully

edit: i received a mod report from this post, i just now found out it's a 3 year old post, sorry
