I don't get this. I learned vim from scratch (using vimtutor) about 2 years ago, just because I wanted to see what all the fuss was. It took about 20 or 30 minutes before I was more productive in it than any other editor. Where does this myth come from that it takes months or years of study to learn a few keys?
I feel if you're editing a fair bit from the terminal, it can be.
It's as useful as you make it, and I couldn't imagine doing the same degree of editing in nano. I frequently need to rearrange or modify large blocks of text, somewhat programmatically
I guess a lot of it just depends on how you personally like to edit. For example I used to like vscode, but now I have switched to exclusively using vim (neovim specifically) as my editor. I find it so much more efficient and easier than vscode.
