I've recently been having issues with Sublime randomly freezing and restarting (may be due to a package, but I'm not going to waste my time verifying what packages are misbehaving out of the hundreds I have installed), I've gone back to Vim.

After setting Vim up for multiple environments (PHP, Go, Python, and JavaScript) it's now my daily driver. Maybe other people feel similar?

Welcome to vim, but if you go overboard on plugins then you will have the same issues with it, probably more so.

I'm finding with Vim that less is more, or maybe as I become more experience I'm not relying so much on the GUI aspect of text editors (creating new files, git integration, color pickers, etc) but instead just sticking to the command line for a variety of operations.

Among the hundreds of professional programmers I've seen, talked to and worked with, in Europe at least, Eclipse (Java), Visual Studio (.Net), Sublime/Visual Studio Code/Atom/Notepad++ (web folks), IntelliJ are far and away ahead of all other editors.

I'm one of the relatively rare birds to also use Vim.

You're probably right, I'm the sole full-time vim user at my place of work (primarily a python shop). I was vindicated in my choice yesterday when somebody forgot to pay off the credit card and the jetbrains license payment bounced, so nobody could work because their pycharm locked them out. I get why people love pycharm though, it does a good job, but I always felt like it was such a pig. Plus you can write some hairy code because the IDE will just let you prance through it without a care in the world.

Its a VIM vs Emacs question, all the other answers are in the (other) category. Considering that, the results make sense.

I use both Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio with VIM keybindings. Does that count?

Same here. This does not match up with other similar surveys. Also, apparently my opinions line up with that of a 55yo programmer...I'm 28. They must have sampled an older crowd that all use Vim and happen to like JavaScript more than most.
