The biggest advantage of vim, besides the language for editing text in normal mode, is that you are really fast and it just feels like you never have to wait for your computer anymore.
Isn't it much cheaper just to get a beefy workstation with fast SSD and enough RAM so everything's in RAM. Maybe there's occasional waits but it's very short, most coding becomes super fast also with e.g. Visual Studio.
