Even without being a dedicated Vim user, I think using it for git commits can be beneficial. You can use it to visually warn you that your git commit is going past a certain amount of characters. Basically it can help you create better git commit messages. But if you hate it and are on a Unix-like environment you can export EDITOR="nano" in your profile and now git should use nano instead. I think there's a git specific setting you can set too if you don't want to do it system wide.
