I wrote about my development environment a few years ago, including my history with Vim (grahamlyons.com/article/why-my-dev...).

That article is in need of an update because I've embraced VSCode more recently, but I still can't leave behind those Vim key-bindings. And if I'm not concentrating then I'll usually open up Vim while I'm exploring a new project...

For me the beauty of Vim is how it's geared towards manipulating text. Even without plugins I find it's great for most languages.

That aside, it's just an editor so use whatever you feel comfortable with - there is no wrong tool to use (death to Emacs).
