Vim is there in the game for a long time and is one of the developer favourites. Vim gives powerful features to navigate files and perform actions.

It is a very much configurable IDE for Javascript. It has hundreds of plugins available which can be used to boost your code writing speed. It is very lightweight. I personally like its autosave function very much which helps you a lot in case of an electricity cut.

Vim is an editor that is used by most of the good developers who are truly interested in doing their jobs. This is because of the speed and shortcuts that make it very easy to edit any part of the code without having to touch your mouse even once. If you are a good developer you will understand how inefficient it is to repeatedly take your hand off your keyboard to use your mouse or your arrow keys to edit code or text. Best part of Vim is that it makes it very efficient to edit text/code without having to take your hand off your keyboard even once.
