For coding in your normal day to day? Sure use intellij. For trying to debug some deep level production only issue where every second of downtime means big money lost? You'll want to know vim/emacs.. Edit: I'll also add that once you learn vim or emacs you'll be far more efficient manipulating text. Sure you could add the bindings to intellij, but I think that's admitting the point is valid. At a point it becomes like a real time meta language where you edit lines the way you would algorithmically.

Yeah I can see that's possible sure. Though if I have access to the code I just use Github but sometimes I guess that's not possible. Still quite rare though no?

  In some places it's rare, in some places it's a daily occurrence, and sure you should work towards stability, but the reality is you have to fix this thing now with what you have. There's also the fact that even if it's rare I still have to know it. And if you don't use it often you will forget it. And then why learn two tools if I can do everything with 1? With intellij I can only do day to day, with vim I can do mission critical and day to day. I'd also argue that a seasoned vim user can get things done incredibly faster than a seasoned intellij user.
