The real advice is try different tools rather than sticking with the first one you try or were told to use. When you find the one for you you'll know. Also remember you can make your own tools. Don't struggle with crap tools and find a way to make it easy to develop your tool kit.

It's been a long time I haven't used Vim. I left it in favor of Evil+Emacs a few years ago. And I don't recommend it to every single person I see.

The phrase "wasting time with Vim" was the thing that made me reply the way I did. Learning Vim properly has helped me every single step of my way.

So you don’t use vim as a programming environment/editor?

So not actually disagreeing with me, just stirring?

"Vim"? No. I don't use it anymore. The "Vim's Way"? I use it everyday!

Evil is a Vim implementation in Elisp, basically.
