As a heavy user of Sublime, Coda 2 and someone that is still getting to grips with vim, I'd say the real advantage of vim is you can do all of that over ssh with minimal keystrokes over a crappy connection.

Actually, this is almost the scenario for which Vim's father was designed.

You can use any editor over ssh these days. Just mount it with sshfs.

Sure, but you can't do low-latency screen-sharing inside a tmux session over sshfs.

Coda's "open quickly" is too slow to use over SSHFS (although is OK on a local network over AFP). Sublime's not too bad but it can take a while to build its file list.
