What I like best about Vim editor is it has got advanced and powerful shortcuts, commands and plugins for editing my code, scripts and batch files. It provides a small bar in the lower right corner which will let you know the mode you are operating in. I can easily enter a key in my document if I am in insert mode by just hitting the key. While in command mode, hitting a key will execute that command and you don’t need to do any extra efforts for this. Also, switching between the modes is made very easy, as you can just press the Escape key to do so.

Never having to take your hands off the keyboard

For people that never used before vim will be a bit odd to start, however after start using it they will love. Is a clean editor that you can use to edit conf files or building your codes/scripts. You can search and replace using some really good options and you can split the screen to edit more files at same time. You can configure it to show different color schemes for different file formats.
