I agree mostly, and this was surprisingly well put for this type of post. However I do think that a good programmer should be able to get through a day with Vim (no plugins) alone if he/she has to, as it's free and installed everywhere. Beyond that just use what makes you happy. I do agree that it's much too hard to get started with Vim as compared to Sublime Text, but if you're a crazy vim ninja more power to you. I have never understood why you'd care what editor your friends/enemies use. As long as you're not coding in MS Word you're good in my book.
