Not to continue derailing this thread, but I learned it years ago when I did more sys admin work on remote servers that didn't have IDEs or UIs for editors. It was vim or nano and vim seemed a bit better. It definitely takes some time to get used to be once you're proficient with it, it's incredibly powerful. Downside is everyone typically customizes it to their liking so when you try and use it on someone else's workstation it's not always going to be what you know, but most of the basics will still work. I try to keep mine minimal so I don't have to rely on a large set of plugins.

Recently though I learned about Ed and that's pretty hard core.

CLI tools vs GUI tools are always big debates on our company Slack.

ober:
One of my developers where I work exclusively uses vim.  I use it when I shell into a server and have to edit a config file or even tweak other files but there is no way I would use it to code.

Perspective:
My team is split between emacs and vim. I use emacs, never could get used to vim.
