being true cross-platform is a bigger draw for me. once something works on one platform it will usually work on any other platform that has a terminal.
im in the process of switching to neovim as my main editor just so i can have the same setup everywhere. IDEs like vscode are 'cross platform' but only work on desktop, and there are IDE-like editors for android but none of them work on desktop. oddly enough neovim on android/termux is actually easier to use than any of the IDE editor apps mainly due to everything being keyboard based
when it comes to writing my own mini programs/scripts, is basically the promise of things like flutter where you can write something once and run it everywhere, only it takes hours instead of days to throw something together and its not as overkill because im just using python or bash and then fzf or textual for any interactive parts
