Vim

What do you like best?

- Present on most operating systems by default

- All commands at the tip of your fingertips, no time wasted moving your hand from keyboard to mouse and back

- Very lightweight process

- Lots of plugins to customize your developer experience

- Navigating through large files is a breeze, especially ones that freeze a regular text editor

What do you dislike?

- Steep learning curve, can be off-putting to beginners

- Sometimes it really is faster to click instead of remember the series of commands you need to get to the line

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I typically use Vim to edit CSV and JSON files. I used to write code but ended up switching to VS Code which suits my purpose a lot better. For large CSV and JSON files VS Code and most other fancy editors just freeze. Occasionally I will just need to see how many rows there are in a CSV and Vim is a no-brainer for the same reason.
