I think a bunch of people were introduced to Vim by Luke Smith, Geohotz and primeagen around 5 years ago. I wanted to be one of the cool guys using Vim but it took a while to admit it that except for Vim keybindings Vim wasn't doing much for me. Vim is less of an editor and more of a system and I struggled to adopt Vim completely or introduce Vim approach to other systems. If I need to write a document in word or google docs and colloborate with other people Vim keybindings was a distraction. I have to write the content in Vim and then transfer it to docs. Vim makes editing documents difficult. It is not friendly to people who make constant typos as character traversal is not part of it's design. Vim appeals to a very niche group of people who are working on a personalized environment and are comfortable with the idea of daily struggle for the promise of progressive productivity. Vim people are different kind of people. After trying out every text editor out there, I think sublime text (vintage mode enabled), VS code (with Vim plugin) and liteXL are the generally useful editors and provides a better user experience then vim and terminal based Vim variants. Even though I do not use Vim, my hot take is that if you are installing Vim plugins from the get-go you are missing the point Vim. Vim is not like the GUI editors and you should not attempt making it that way. That defeats the purpose of Vim and makes using vim more like an agenda.
