Definitely! I just want to provide an actual reason for why VIM is great as people who are very into it are the worst at telling you why it's good.
It's usually, "well if you spend 3 months tinkering with configurations and plugins, you can basically have most of the features an IDE has out-of-the-box!" which misses the entire damn point of vim.
Also it's great because if you're ever ssh'ing into servers, you can be confident that you can be close to as productive editing files there as you are in your IDE, which I find very re-assuring. But as it is right now, I don't see a reason why anyone should switch to vim unless they enjoy the act of learning it and want to get some of the cool composability features, which are just fun to use and learn

It seems I was unneccessarily defensive! > if you're ever ssh'ing into servers, you can be confident that you can be close to as productive editing files there as you are in your IDE That is a nice point.
