Yes, vim is amazing. 1. It's installed on basically every server you SSH into, which means you can edit text on remote servers instead of having to download, edit, and re-upload 2. Keyboard-only interface is big. Not only does it mean that you don't have to break flow with mouse usage, but it also means that you can record and play-back a series of edits and movements. 3. Vim is built on composition of count, action, and movement. This means that you can do lots of things with learning a few things. For example, you can diw to delete the word your cursor is inside, or di" to delete the text inside the pair of quotes, or di( to delete inside the parentheses. And when you learn daw to delete around a word, you get access to da" and da( for free.
