I think it ultimately depends on your personal working style. Some advantages to vim are: + it's simple UI (all text-based) + it's lightweight + it is modal (which can be easier if you're a touch typist) + you never have to use the mouse (just like what lukeqsee said) + lots of plugins exist to enhance the functionality Hope this helps!

+ it's much more dynamic with integration of compiler than any other editor (I know) and supports even integration plugins for gdb + it will help you prevent mistypings during other actions (thanks to insert mode) and sometimes I think it even helps to write better code.
