As I like to say, Vim is the best of both worlds because it combines vi's legendary ease of use with the small footprint of Emacs. :)

People like vim because they get used to the commands. It will take effort and practice for you to get used to vim's way of working and arcane command set. But that's true of every editor. It's certainly true of Emacs, which I use most often for programming, and it's even true of Visual Studio Code. I find the hill I need to climb to reach a proficiency plateau in VSCode is just too steep, and said plateau is not as high as it would be in Emacs because I can automate and extend Emacs as I use it... so I end up harrumphing back to Emacs every time I try giving VSCode a serious chance.

It's up to you to decide whether the power of vim is worth the effort to learn it. It's probably not going anywhere no matter what you choose. Just use what you feel comfortable with and don't worry about the greener grass in some other editor's yard.

> I have intention to understand ideas underlying different editors and how to progress creating the next editor of course taking best features of all already existing ones.
