Why would you even suggest this to a vim user?  What's your point?  If
you're not a vim user then you have no idea how vim benefits the person
who is proficient in it and enjoys using it. There are many reasons to
use vim.  Since you're not really interested in these reasons I won't
bother re-stating them here.  I'm sure there are reasons you prefer a
"modern editor" also.

I can argue all day long about how arcane emacs is, and argue how
wodnerful vim is, but I could never in seriousness suggest to an emacs
user that he'd be better off using vim or a "modern editor."  Nor should
you.
