As some other comments suggest, vim is the gift that keeps on giving. I'm not going to try and convince you to use it -- do whatever you want.

But for me, every little thing I learn in vim pays off... a thousand times? Macros alone have probably saved me a cumulative few hundred hours. And with every other little thing I learn, compounds with this effect. I write macros much better than I did five years ago, but I still surely have tons of stuff to learn. No IDE will ever compete because vim is just four keystrokes away at any time, no matter where my terminal is.
