For me, all this talk about "speed and efficiency" has put me off of trying vim for a good while—I thought it was a waste to spend time and effort improving the speed of something that was never a bottleneck to start with.

However I did give vim a try eventually and use it now exclusively, but the reason I like it is comfort. Navigating around and doing operations is sooo much more comfortable now that I don't have to use a mouse or repeated key presses, plus all the many helpful shortcuts it has.
