IDEs like vim and Emacs are great because they eliminate the necessity to use the mouse, and to centralise all navigation and actions to the keyboard. this is particularly useful if you know how to touch type and can use keyboard shortcuts (a prerequisite to programming). I recently enabled it in sublime as the laptop I’m using doesnt have the home and end keys which slowed me down when navigating the document. with vim all you need is $ an 0 to goto the start and end of a line, and gg and G to goto the start/end of a document.
