For some people (like me), re-teaching muscle memory is a huge battle that takes years. Switching to an editor where you can't use the mouse as a crutch until you learn it is a non-starter.

vim has both terminal and gui builds. The latter supports the mouse.
I use vim as my daily driver. Just want to make it clear to people that even vim with mouse support is not going to be a drop in replacement for vscode/atom/sublime. You're still going to have a hare time being productive in it for a good while until you learn the keybinds and train your muscle-memory

Even the terminal build supports the mouse. `set mouse=a`
Next time you're on an airplane and have nothing to do, but have access to a laptop, consider firing up `vimtutor`. I think you might underestimate how much time it takes to build up muscle memory in a new system. Not saying you'll be a wizard by the time you get off the flight, but it might surprise you how far you get!
