I've been writing code for more than a decade almost every day. The pros for learning vim is not about writing code fast, it's about streamlining it. I do not want what I'm doing interrupted by moving the cursor with arrows keys or using the mouse. That's why people put hours into configuring their emacs setups. Not for speed, but to resolve annoyances.

Why exactly? That's just pressing a button, like any vim command.
