I went from Windows over various Linux-distributions and BSDs to MacOSX over the last 15 years. I did my programming (various languages) in vim for several years, after that in TextMate on OSX and now mostly in IntelliJ IDEA (well, and still TextMate). While I use the terminal the entire day for various commands and tools, I seldomly do any text-editing in it anymore. I don't miss vim one bit, I wouldn't recommend anyone to learn it. If you have OSX look at TextMate, you can script and "power-use" it too.
