An important conclusion I once came to, which I am sure many others have found out for themselves: while an IDE may help you edit code, and vim may work well for you as an IDE, vim’s core competency is much more fundamental: it is as a text editor.

One is most likely to conclude this when using an IDE and wanting to juggle some prose in a comment. What would have been so simple in vim is a little bit harder in your Monaco based editor. A happy environment is one where vim is never far away, no matter what you are working on.
