I'm using Vim for about 15 years now. Some times Vim terminal, most of the time GUI Vim. In the past years I could configure it, build scripts, build plugins and install third party plugins. Today I have a complete development environment with some simple but powerful functions that fulfills me on any project with any language. Besides that, it also fulfills me on writing e-mails and technical documents. Using Pandoc and Latex as external tools, gives Vim power beyond any word processor. For me, it is really great to have Vim as my every day working tool. And not have to use the mouse for anything.
