Why aren't you using Vim?

Why aren't you using Vim for all of your text editing needs?

Using Vim (or Emacs if you're a macfag) literally allows you to get better at editing text with time. Time spent with the editor gains rent.

Compare this to using an IDE, you will always be as good at editing text as you were when you first started. The ability to get better at editing text doesn't exist with IDEs.

I've seen an analogy that Emacs is used in chords, like in music.

I'd bet my left nut that whoever said that knows jack shit about music theory. It's nothing like chords. With chords, you can work out what one would be if you know the rules. Emacs is just memorising shit afresh each time, like you said.
