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 heard people talk about it and complain most about the plugins they no longer have. I think I could re-implement some of these more easily in elisp than fixing the speed issues in poorly written vimscript.

As much as I love vim, it seems arbitrary a lot of the time. And I'm not sure if vimscript is just slow or if people suck at writing parsers in it. I see people writing state machines, which should be fairly fast. I'd rather see a built-in parser (maybe with DSOs?) though, so writing a colorscheme could amount to little more than picking some colors.
