I think so long as you're satisfied with your tool, you should just keep using it. If you "don't believe the hype", then doesn't just that mean that the benefits that people describe from their experience with vim/emacs/whatever aren't that important to you? If when people describe how they like being able to delete 10 lines with 10dd, or use '.' to repeat the last thing they did, and that doesn't sound interesting to you, then don't worry about it.

Personally, I love vim, and have been using it for years and years, and feel hobbled without it, but if you're satisfied with your tool, and don't long for something better, stick with it.
