The interface of Vim is not the most amazing in the world, but it's perfect
for the situation. It performs perfectly and works like a charm.
At first it might seem like a very feature lacking editor, but many useful
features are included by default.
I find arrow keys and folks (needless to say about the mouse) too far to
reach and too clumsy to work with when switching to other editors, including
this browser text box I'm using to enter this review. I really wish all editors
had vi key bindings!
My problem is, wakoopa never detects my use of it. So, I haven't been counted
as a vim user so far, and can't add it as my favorite. That's too bad!
Modal editing is the greatest idea in history (of text editing). There _are_
things Vim isn't too good at, but that's what Emacs + Viper + Vimpulse is
for.
Performance is the only thing that makes me use Vim. Interface gets a 2 only
cuz it's clean and pro-keyboard. The problem is that it's modal and the
shortcuts take time to get used to..
if you like being a nerd, you have to use vi/vim...
The learning-curve is horribly and you will need weeks of customisation
and configurations, but if you undergo this and some years of learning it will
be the fastest editing-experience ever.
The problem is: is this speed-up worth all the hastle? I dont know...
really!
Blazing fast. Extendable with numerous plugins. Works anywhere, even via ssh.
What else do you need from an editor, seriously?
I think most of the time you use vim or emacs on linux, but why Linux(27%) windows(70%)?
VIM!
Very sucking interface. How to exit Vim?
My absolute favourite editor, it's so good I send my girlfriend to Uganda.
You need some time to get used to vim but when you did it you love this editor.

The best text editor that I ever met, no need to move or drag the mouse. It makes me forget that I have the arrow keys on my keyboard :P

Very Addictive..

If your fingers learn VI you can work on any unix/linux/mac/windows box to edit in basically the same way. VIM adds hugely powerful capabilities.
