I've often wondered this, but I'd expect it not directly related to whatever techniques or commands or use cases people use vim for, because there's a wide diversity in the ways vim is used. This group often reminds us of that. No, it is the *helpfulness* of vim, helping without telling you how to work. I'm not thinking primarily of vim's help system, but of course its excellence is an example of this helpfulness. I *am* thinking of how helpful this group is, I feel a deep resonance between what I perceive as the spirit of vim and the attitudes of the people here. (In contrast, using emacs, I feel like it's telling me how to think, the right way to do stuff. I'd formed that opinion long before I read about Gnu and Richard Stallman but wasn't surprised to find that emacs was the flagship Gnu project and thus had a barrow to push, and the forks in the emacs world.)
