I’m in a pretty similar situation with Vim. I don’t hate it, but compared to modern editors like Atom and Sublime I feel like I’m missing out on some features. Things like visual find and replace through a whole project, tight integration with Git, looking a lot prettier (even with a true colour terminal) make me a bit envious. And sometimes Vim just feels slow and laggy to me (I tried Neovim briefly but didn’t notice any difference).

Vim is very powerful so although it hasn’t got features like visual blocks, you can do pretty much the same thing with macros and shortcuts - as long as you know and remember them, but that’s the tricky part... Somethings it would be nice just to click a menu to find that feature you use one a month.

I tried switching to Atom but then got lost and felt it was no way near as powerful as Vim out the box (even with the Vim plugin), so here I am stuck with Vim :-)
