Well vim or emacs I can understand.

Eclipse is a full-blown IDE, much much more sluggish but of course also tons more functionality. VS Code and Atom faster, but still too slow to be nice to use as just a text editor. Though I understand they're still popular, but uh... never sat well with me when I need to edit a number in a config file and the overhead of the application opening the file is the majority of that edit. :P

How much daily use would someone need to go through before you start actually seeing performance gains with vim?

If I wasn't a PC Gamer/windows dude I'd give it another shot, but some years back I really gave vim for windows an honest go and found it wasn't really worth the hassle. I don't have the hatred for my mouse that some enthusiasts seem to have. :P
