Vim is a powerful text editor that improves coding speed & efficiency through its shortcut-based Vim language. While learning Vim can be challenging, it is a valuable skill that can enhance your career as a computer professional.
Emacs is a nice one as well. Its approach and purposes are just different. But in my opinion difference has a lot of benefits, so long life to all the editors and a big thank you to the wonderful devs who offer these tools to us (remember to buy them a coffee or more if you can).
Seems like one loves vim or one does not. I learned vi back in the mid 80s, hated it then, probablty not going back. These days I thankfully use Geany or nano. Learning vim seems like a right of passage or something.

“Because we use Emacs, son. They use vim.”

Yes, I think every developer is dropped into vim unexpectedly at some point (eg. git)… “What is this? How do I close it!!!”
