Vim’s great if you live in it, but most people don’t because there’s really no need to. Any time you have to spend enough time working on a file that you can really get the most out of vim, you have enough time to get that file into an environment that you can use a more “friendly” text editor.
I like vim and appreciate it’s potential, but for most people it’s a waste of time.
If you do any sort of system admin/devops work where you constantly hop onto different hosts its essential - vi or some variant is normally installed even in stripped down Docker containers.
And there is always ed if you are on some extremely old or stripped down box.
