When making code changes feels quick and effortless, I think you become more willing to try out different things and experiment, which ultimately enables you to learn your languages and frameworks faster and make better choices. When code changes feel arduous and time-consuming, you're less inclined to experiment and more inclined to tolerate unknowns and best-guesses. I think vim helps push things towards the former scenario.
