I can't help but see it as the tiling window manager of text editors.
Even with plugins it's less featureful than Kate or Jetbrains IDEs. And the last time I really gave it a go, it was slow, which is surprising for a terminal text editor.
If I need to edit text via the terminal, micro has mouse support and keybindings that match what you'd expect in any OS.
I don't like the idea of thinking people who use vim are insane, it obviously has value and people who use it have good reasons for using it, but I can't see it as more than a niche nerd thing a la tiling window managers.
