For me, a GUI editor is always preferred over Vim. But when I have to use CLI editors, Vim is the best.
That's why I will never master in Vim. Because files that I edit most are hosted locally

I find that MacVim is rather nice. It integreates really nicely with the graphical environment.
However, if I'm writing in shell, Ruby, JavaScript, or any other oddball language without a purpose-built IDE, a well-tuned Vim setup, and extensive familiarity with how to use it, works wonders.
Not so important for a quick script but if your tests/compiling takes a few minutes, totally worth it.
