I use Vim. I like Vim. I am more productive with Vim. But it's not twice as productive, it's more like 5% more productive.
If not Vim, I'd be using an IDE. Either Xcode or Visual Studio. As source code editors, they're okay. (For other capabilities, there are some things I really like about Xcode, some things I really like about Visual Studio. And then there are things that one does great, and the other does poorly. And yet other things where both IDEs are infuriating. Meh, go figure.)
My stance on the general push for Vim is "It's too late for me! Save yourself!"
My fingers know Vim, tacitly. When I use other editors or IDEs and I feel claustrophobic and hobbled.
PS: I used to be an emacs user. Started using vi on a bet / dare / challenge, and never went back to emacs. In hindsight, I think the one thing that emacs lacked was a good editor.
