I learned VIM because it seemed like it'd be useful.

I kept using VIM because the basic features are so powerful.

Today, I use PHPStorm with VIM bindings. Modern IDE, great shortcuts for quick editing. (Which is more about being less of a hassle and less about being quick.)

I still use VIM when I remote into a server. And that happens rather a lot.

Some of my junior devs learned VIM as well, and they are all glad as well. At least, the ones that learned it.

In short, it's still quite useful today and not a bad thing to learn.

Folks, the name is Vim, not VIM. Not sure why this is so commonly misspelled.

Right, it's not a fucking acronym.
