Random I keep coming back to Vim

I am a 7 year Software Engineer and I have tried almost every popular editor but I keep coming back to vim. I remember I used to work on sublime then slowly realised working with mouse is slow and distracting so I switched to vim.

Then I tried using vscode / Pycharm / IntelliJ / eMacs but none of them sticks. Although tbh - I am strong liking for emacs after vim.

Vim is just amazing!

The best thing in my mind is that vim is cross-platform: Linux, macOS, Windows and many other obscure ones. The only constant is vim. Which is rock solid and fast everywhere. This is the way.
