Vim is available cross platform and cross protocol, so whether accessing through a GUI or over SSH, Vim provides the same stellar experience. Installing Vim plugins is a breeze and customizing the look and function of one's Vim installation takes one as far as one wishes to go.

Limitless configuration options, incredible plugin community. The editor modes make browsing & sniping text automatic and extremely fast. The learning curve ensures there is always something waiting to surprise you. Recent competition in the form of Neovim has pushed features to the next level, we now have asynchronous plugins, an embedded terminal. As long as plugins are configured properly etc, it is blazingly fast.

When you get used to use VIM as main IDE you move around the code much fast, you edit the code much faster, I tried to go back to other IDEs but I couldn't´t found the shortcuts and the well done way to interact with the code as VIM has.
