Not sure why there's a `still` in the question. As long as there's text files to edit there will be a good reason to learn Vi(m) or any other console/text/GUI editor.
Here are some reasons why I use it:
- it's fast
- works consistently well over SSH/in docker containers/remote
- can use it pretty much everywhere and if it's not installed it's easy to setup
- awesome for doing quick text edits or text manipulation (I prefer Vim to sed/awk or anything else)
I don't Vim as an IDE replacement since I find it just takes too much time to maintain a working setup. I'm also not a fan of addons/plugins as over time they tend to fall apart.
