What's the point of leaving a long comment on a post about vim detailing how and why you aren't interested in vim, or about how vim doesn't meet your needs? Th

  Well, my point was more about how, in the era of GUI's, when working ON GUI's, the idea that vim is somehow miles "better" doesn't necessarily hold up, and measuring how deep your vim knowledge goes is a bit of a nerd dick measuring contest these days, but your point is taken.

But who was making that claim? Yours was a top-level comment, so I can only suppose that it was responding to the article; but I do not find your claim in the article—specifically, I only find two occurrences of the quoted word ‘better’ in the article, neither of which is even mentionining GUIs. Myself, I have never used any other editor, GUIs included, that matches the experience I have with vim, and I'm a pedestrian user of vim at best. As long as vim keeps existing, it doesn't bother me that other people prefer other experiences; so why inveigh against people with different tastes to yours, or different uses for their text editor from yours, who prefer vim and, preferring it, want to learn how to use it well?
