"Take a look" at VIM? You can't. It'll blow your mind. You don't really edit text; you're constantly issuing commands to have text edited by VIM. (And no, there are no VIM modes; not IMHO. Using "i" is just the command used to start inserting text.)

I am able to use the basics, in case I need to work on a Unix/Linux system and need an editor in the terminal, but I could never adapt to it to make it my main editor.
