I started with Textmate, liked it, but then the community lost interest. I followed them to Sublime. I never got comfortable with Sublime though it is hard to recollect why. I just kept getting frustrated with it.
Then people started talking about Sublime 3, Atom, and all that editor hotness. I wanted something stable, something I could learn once and be comfortable with it being around for a long time. I had tried Emacs years ago and found it unpleasant, to say the least.
I looked into Vim. It became very addictive but it does take a bit of time to learn. I love the action followed by motion idea. I found the built in tutorial decent as well as Painless Vim to be a decent starting point: https://leanpub.com/painless_vim https://leanpub.com/painless_vim
About a year into my Vim conversion, I get around decently and love doing the editing stuff. But I do feel that I need to go over tricks and tips again.
