My main reason to why stuff gets done faster when I'm in vim is because I am in the terminal anyway. Compared to one virtual desktop with a browser if you're doing web, one with some editor, and one with a terminal to run some build tools and more, you'd have to jump around much more.

Another good reason to go with vim is that it will probably be around when other editors may become abandoned. Sure it's good with many editors to pick from, but most of us go for the latest shiny thing and it's always a learning curve even going between Sublime and Atom.

It's free, you can install it on anything. It's not the crazy commands that makes it fast really.
