Well Vim is quick because of the different modes, normal, insert and visual. I can cut and paste really fast due to knowing shortcuts. I don't know if it is worth learning unless you are coding/editing for hours. The way most people have picked it up was that there were few choices and we grew up with it. For some new people they also like it but it isn't for the majority of people since it doesn't "click." Editing speed is very low on the programming skills.
