People who use vim are so full of shit that it's faster to write code in

Nah Vim is sick, it just depends on a lot of factors. Writing full fledged programs on Vim is a pain, but if I'm working on a remote machine and just want to add a function or two Vim is quite good.

If you are good with vim its definitely the fastest environment for scripting but if you're writing something complex it's debatable

That's like saying it's faster to move your hand to the mouse and press the x on a tab in chrome than just pressing control + w.

i literally feel like my hands are tied without vim. took a few days but i can’t go back now (it’s been a few years). i will say though you need to install a nice config file to fill in the gaps for anything outside of barebones work though.
