Ask HN: Vim vs. sublime like editros?

Hi. What's your opinion about using vim in today's practice? When there are moden editors with easy to manage plugins and packages why what's the use of vim?

How many of you guys are using vim? Plus also in a GUI aspect modern editors look better than vim.

I use vim exclusively, and vi before it, since vi was introduced a million years ago.

I only want to master a few tools, and vim works everywhere. When working over ssh in a terminal session vim will be there.

There's no best or perfect editor (or language, or any kind of tool). Use what works for you, master a few tools, hope that you pick tools that work in lots of contexts for a long time.

True vim is pretty good working via SSH and whorks anywhere
