vim is addictive. Hands down. Always thought I'd never be able to understand the workings of vi's syntax but decided to give tutorials a decent read - and that's where it all unfolded. vim is powerful. It has features such as syntax highlighting and regular expressions to replace or find text. Command mode is extremely useful in working with large files, especially when you don't want to scroll all the way down to line 11k and you'd rather just be there. vim is portable. Probably one of the best things about vim is it's included by default on almost every Linux distribution, as well as OS X. The fact that it operates through a terminal is handy for editing files over an SSH terminal as graphical editors such as Sublime Text will never be capable of doing so. I still have much to learn in vim though, such as selections, multiline editing, and a full grasp of the power. vim is beginning to become a powerful weapon in my programming artillery.
