Vim is a powerful text editor that improves coding speed & efficiency through its shortcut-based Vim language. While learning Vim can be challenging, it is a valuable skill that can enhance your career as a computer professional.
Learning vim has been fun for me, which is why it always seems weird to me when people say stuff like “why should I have to learn, etc.” It’s like there’s no point in doing something unless it puts money into your wallet?
Learning new things makes you a better person. It’s good for your brain.
It’s like asking why you should make the effort to bake cookies or learn origami.
It really all depends upon what you’re doing. Some people don’t like to leave the terminal, and editors like nano or micro aren’t powerful enough for them. If all you’re doing is working with configs or something like that, micro or nano is just as good as vim.

Valid argument there even if it doesn’t make me faster, I just have a whole lot of other subjects and tools that i prioritise higher.
