Text editing in vim is awesome, but it requires thinking about combinations of commands. In other editors, you don't have to think about how to delete this part of code. You just think about how to implement a feature, what is a good design for this code. Even after you get used to using vim, it still requires your brain for editing. See More
Vi/vim exists on almost all Unix-like platforms. It's the de-facto Unix editor and is easily installed on Windows. All you need to make it work is a text-based connection, so it works well for remote machines with slow connections, or when you're too lazy to set up a VNC/Remote Desktop connection. See More
Very cumbersome to use and often crashed. Importing data files and working out what has been processed and what hasn't is very annoying. Opening a project that hasn't been worked on for a while and running it can cause all sorts of confusion because it is unclear what has been processed and what hasn't. Often easier just rebuilding the project but this caused problems when downloading twitter/youtube data via APIs which have a daily limit on how many requests can be sent. Probably the only thing I would recommend it for compared to a text based editor (such as vim or sublime) is that it can do inhouse graphs of inputted data. See More
Very easy to learn. Easy to install packages, fast and beautiful. See More
