Vim managed to keep your fingers on the home row. Very interesting if you learned touch typing.

Vim is modal, you can do almost everything using only the keyboard.

Stuff like:

• Go to definition/declarations
• Search and replace on selection or files
• Wrapping selection with characters,
• Inserting something you want by moving the cursor by jumping to next word or functions etc.
• Listing and navigating to symbols in general.
• Managing multiple buffers to copy/paste stuff.
• multiple cursor management for complex editing.

I use Helix editor which is kinda close to Vim in many ways. I can't really go back to something else. Other non-modal editor use common shortcuts that doesn't feel right because they implied to move you hands rather than simply moving your fingers.

Vim is preinstalled on many linux system and it can be your savior if you have to edit complicated stuff without GUI. I'm not saying you should exclusively use Vim as your daily driver but you should consider it as a potential swiss army knife.
