Just a side note while watching that video. Seems to me that video could be 10 minutes if he would use Sublime, VS or Atom.

Does he uses VIM just to show-off? Seems like everything is super slow because of it.

I would not attribute malice to such an insignificant detail. My guess would be that he prefers VIM over the others. I prefer VS Code myself, but an editor is a very personal choice for a developer.
He's not showing off. He used vs code for a while but I believe got frustrated with issues, so he went back to something more stable and familiar for him. I can't blame him there.
He heard you. Check this video: https://courses.totalreact.com/courses/250055/lectures/38973.... The content is same, a bit refined, but the length is 34:51.
Seems to me that vim is superior to the alternatives you listed, but that's just my opinion.
Seemed to me he was struggling with VIM usage. I never said VIM is worse/better.
Just a friendly editor war jab :)
