I was a short-term vim user, around 8 years. There are some benefits to it, however these benefits are starting to get less and less with other IDEs/Editors adopting some of the functionality. I now use VS Code with vim keys. So as from my point of view of would highlight the following reasons: - Keyboard, for even a bad typer like myself the vim keys and chords are very efficient. - The not using a mouse is good also, your hands do not move far. - Fast - Widely available - Cross platform - I can use it in a SSH session. - When you use it for a while you do build an attachment to it. It might sound strange but I feel good using vim. I think my vim experience has one major benefit also. I have been able to jump from one ide/editor to another and if there is support for vim keys then I can navigate and do basic to mid level editing quite efficiently. I like VS Code now, it is consistent, plugins work consistently (one problem with Vim). I would still recommend people to learn vim.
