Am I foolish for not believing the vi/vim hype? I understand that it's been around for as long as rocks, and that it's quite handy since it's available everywhere. I use it daily, in fact, but rarely for more than basic editing.
I'll just come out and say it: my favorite editor is Visual Studio. Sure, it's slow to load and rather fat now, but I'm talking solely about the editing functionality.
With vim, I have to climb an amazing learning curve, regularly practicing all sorts of commands to achieve basic productivity. With VS, any command I don't recall is readily available through the menus. As I access it in the menus, I'm reminded of the keyboard shortcut, so it seems like a much more natural leaning experience to me.
