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.

Does anyone know if vi mode in emacs is any good?
It's about as good as trying to compile C with a Java compiler, and it's about as slow as reimplementing ed in Java every time you want to edit some text.
