You will also find people asking why anyone would ever think of using vim. One of those is Aaron Bieber. https://blog.aaronbieber.com/2016/01/30/dig-into-org-mode.html I use vim only when unavoidable, and I simply pretend it is ed (of ancient Unix days). Or maybe I just use ed. I would not bother trying to use ed to access org, and thus would not be tempted to use vi, vim or evil mode for org, either. One fine day, long, long ago, I had to use a Vax that did not have emacs, vim, vi or ed. It did have whatever DEC was using for an editor, but I didn't know how to use it instantly. What to do? What to do? I tried running TECO. Yes, it had TECO! Saved! (Sort of.) Why use vim if emacs is already built into your fingertips?
