Folks here assume "text editing" is just structured code editing. I use vim for more than just editing code trees in one language. I edit unstructured text (lists, notes, articles), semi-structured markup (latex, markdown), and machine-readable data that is not in the form of a tree (csvs, tsvs, scraper output, training data that comes in arbitrary formats). The mindset I've come to appreciate for vim is that the goal is to have a zen garden for editing text. Editing text efficiently and seamlessly is the end goal, and what that text is used for is incidental.
