I've been using vim for the last 6 years because most of my early projects at my job involved PuTTY-ing directly to Solaris and RHEL servers to do dev work (mostly shell scripting and PHP). I don't do anything particularly sophisticated with it; recording macros to repeat the same transformation on multiple lines is about my limit. But I love being able to work with my hands permanently on the home row of the keyboard, and having to switch between keyboard and mouse with other software feels like a chore now. Sadly these days I mostly make Mulesoft applications using Anypoint Studio. I still use it for most of my text editing at home at least.
