vim:

- I enjoy terminal apps in general due to the uniformity enforced by my emulator’s text and color settings. And keeping my editor and shell in one app fosters a custom IDE-like experience

- I enjoy keeping my hands on the keyboard most of the time, though I have mouse mode enabled for things like resizing splits

- While I think you can be extremely productive in any of the big editors today, with vim something about its modes and command syntax make it really fun to discover new tricks and simpler ways of doing things

- Some version of vi is on just about every *nix machine

- The vim plugin ecosystem is very developed and plenty of useful ones to check out

- Similarly to plugins, there are thousands of dotfiles to peruse on GitHub for inspiration towards making your editing experience even better
