Perhaps a mix of choice supportive bias after going through the pain of learning it and stockholm syndrome?
Jokes aside, I don't really work with VIM but understand the concepts and have mastered basic usage of changing text files without too much effort. Never really coded in VIM aside from small scripts. But it is a dependable text editor that survived the ages. Most modern IDE will never reach this because they are far less dependable and far less wide spread. Installing VIM on your system never hurts.
