People (such as myself) make the argument that it does a better job because it's focused more on reading code than writing it since you don't start in the "write" mode like in most editors.
I would say the choice of text editor shouldn't make a difference in productivity so long as it doesn't actively get in your way too often (looking at you, poorly implemented autopairs) and it supports the relevant LSP and debugging protocols.
