Well, I'd say precision and productivity. Vim really makes one feel like a text surgeon (I've read that somewhere 😁), it takes you to the core of text editing and makes task completion simple and fast.
The fact that it can be called anywhere from the terminal makes the perfect tool for system admin. For instance, I am running a Wordpress site, after every theme update, I would face an issue within the wp-settings.php file, I had to log in cpanel from the browser find the file and edit it there or download, edit then upload. Now I only have to access the server with ssh, locate the file, open it with vim, edit, save and voilà... task is completed within seconds.
