That is actually 100% fair.
My issue with Vim is that it takes quite a bit of effort to learn, as this very thread illustrates. And for what gain?
I don't know how to use Vim, but I've given learning a shot a few times before having this visceral reaction like, "Why the hell am I doing this?" And then I move on to other things.
I've watched other programmers use Vim, and they do not appear to be any faster or more efficient than me with Sublime and/or an IDE like PyCharm or Eclipse. And for some tasks they seem to be quite a bit slower.
I dunno. To each their own. I wouldn't fault someone for learning Vim. But to me it seems like a waste of time. Modern text editors are much easier to learn and use. If you want to spend time learning something, learn something useful.
Just my opinion though.
