I’ve also used Vim as my main editor for 10+ years. After that, I spent a year or so with Emacs, and then a couple of years with Sublime Text 4 once I got tired of configuration. I never fully gave up on Vim though, I use it if I work remotely or have to do data transformation via macros.
I’m currently testing Helix [1], which is a terminal editor with Vim-like keybindings — but which requires no configuration or plugins (LSP works out of the box, sensible leader keybindings by default, multiple cursors is built in). It lacks some features like snippets and folding though. Vim -> Helix reminds me of when I switched Zsh -> Fish: I lost some power, but it did 80% of what I wanted from a custom config without any work. Remains to see whether I’ll stick with it long-term though.
