And mouse is not always supported

If you can install any other editor, I'd imagine that you can install vim with mouse support!

Vi is ubiquitous, yes. But vim is additionally flexible.

Someone just tell me, are people who love vim, just never used a serious Windows mouse-enabled text editor

I've used a lot of editors on windows. I used UltraEdit for many years.

to know what is best or they have a good reason to ditch any other editor to tell it is practically the best??? I'm way confused over the years.

Tools are a personal choice. If you don't like or don't get vim, then don't use it. What is the point of trolling in vim related articles?

but all I see about vim is about weirdness and ugly color theme and no idea how this can improve my coding.

But you choose the weirdness & the colors. You can make a customized, idiosyncratic environment which will work for you almost anywhere.

And a page that looks to be on advanced vim topic is usually 7 years old.

You did look at the date of the article you're commenting on now, didn't you. Or do you think you are you from the year 2014?
