To be fair, vim is radically different in terms of navigation, keybindings, capability, etc. than your average gui-based text editor. I am not saying that your point is wrong, but vim is sort of an extreme example of a. the difference between vim vs. other editors, and b. the zeal with which vim users tend to cling to it (as a vim user).
