You are making stuff up. Nobody is claiming that using Vim over Eclipse allows a product to be delivered earlier and with less bugs. The Agile crowd makes that kind of claim, some language zealots also do. The "saving keystrokes" argument is important for programmers because our work is very repetitive and we are lazy. It has nothing to do with the productivity of your team or the release date. Nothing. Because programmers don't care about all that. Chosing Vim over another editor is a matter of personal choice. If you don't like Vim don't use it. Noone cares. if you are interested, even remotely, try it in your free time. But by all means don't project the effects of your delusions on random strangers: nobody is insisting that you use Vim instead of X. All the "Vim is awesome" comments or blog posts you have read are not attempts to bring you to our temple. They are just manifestations of our personal and often unreasonable "love" for Vim. No more, no less.
