VIM's (and others like it) strengths are in its configurability and movement commands and lack need for the arrow-keys. So much so that theres a VIM plugin for just about every popular editor, including Sublime and Atom.

I believe the need for fancier editors like Sublime and Atom has come about because VIM's development has waned and its code base is hard to update and innovate on.
