Who doesn't? Vim is everywhere! Vim is life. Although I have to admit I still use the arrows and not hjkl.

If you keep your 8 fingers on the homerow, then the full power of vi/vim will be unleashed for you.

I am not against other text editors (or calculators, or what not), one chooses the tool that fits his skills and does the job.

Definitly I didn't want to start another editor war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war

It has been on every Macintosh since Apple released Mac OS X in 2001. Together with vi and vim and awk and yacc and everything else :-)

I still use vi some times to edit simple text files ("vim" is for sissies ;-) ).

Actually, vi is for sissies and ed remains the one true text editor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_(text_editor)
