I love vim. I've been using it for almost 20 years now. I agree with you about code entry speed, that's not the point. I think the easiest way to put it is that vim is 0% task loading. I never have to expend any energy dealing with it, making it do something I want, finding some button that moved around, etc. Vim just works: in almost two decades, I have never once encountered a single bug or change in behavior that I found irritating. Seriously, never. I just write code. 99% of the code I have written both personally and professionally in my lifetime was written in vim. That's the other win for me: all that muscle memory is still beneficial, now and forever. Its a much more universal tool than any IDE.
