You don't have to learn vim to craft a git message, most people where I work only know how to exit and they are perfectly fine using vim here or there as prompted.
If someone were to learn to use CLI to begin with, I don't mind sprinkling them with some vi. It's UX for those who are already doing CLI, not some people lingering on GUI.
Though it's not surprising that someone who believe vim has no benefit whatsoever over other editors have this take, quoth another comment that I replied to in this thread:
> I think the idea that Vim is "technically superior" should be challenged as well. I've watched, and participated in, dozens of discussions on text editors, and have never been shown a concrete piece of scientific evidence demonstrating Vim's claimed superiority according to any real-world metric.
