What I like about vim is it is ubiquitous. On anywhere there can be vim, so I don't consider gvim anything interesting, but only maybe when I need vim on a local machine.
And mouse is not always supported, so to use real power of vim, as in, edit anywhere with your vim style, I was expecting there is something really good about keyboard only use. But I guess some people love vim with mouse, which I wasn't really considering about and probably won't in future too.
Someone just tell me, are people who love vim, just never used a serious Windows mouse-enabled text editor 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.
At least if I see vim user's point of view, I can knod or something, because some part of editors are just a matter of personal preference, but all I see about vim is about weirdness and ugly color theme and no idea how this can improve my coding. And every tutorial out there about vim starts with telling me to go insert mode first and exit with ZZ and that's about it. And a page that looks to be on advanced vim topic is usually 7 years old.
