We deal with a lot of csv files and my boss asks me often to use my
magic (vim) to save her hours of work because Excel is not up to the task !
And I still know so little may be not even 1% ...

different matter" though I worked with a great team that used vim
variations exclusively on a 2 year telecomm project in 1999-2001 w
sockets & x.25 communications on HPUX, AIX & some proprietary
hardware. We wrote & tested many twisty windy lines of code (a count
which I think is no measure of quality or value btw) & a great product
once we'd finished.
That said, you need VI because one day you will be stuck & it will be
the only editor available... (btdt)

There is no other editor around that let´s you keep your hands on the qwerty
part of the keyboard. Cursors, pgup/down, home, end, are all useless fluff.
That means you can type much faster, with much less hand motion.
The integration of regular expressions via : commands, make search
and replace as powerful as awk, far easier than other editors. Uses
less memory than other editors, by far.

I do use vi/vim when editing config files, it works quite well for that
with the limited vim knowledge I have. It's when it comes to writing
code that I find it slows me down.
Perhaps you could share how you use vim?
Do you use multiple tabs/windows? I tried the vim tabs and they just
don't work as well as gedit/kate tabs (specifically switching between
them).
thanks,
