this article fails to point out that one of the great advantages of vim is universal accessibility. while atom, sublime, textmate are probably more user-friendly and can emulate a lot of vim functionality, they are not as flexible and environment-independent.

to me, the beauty of vim is that I can use it anywhere with minmal set-up or privileges (e.g. root).
