The promise with Vim (and Emacs) is you'll never need to switch to something else, and the skills are transferable (script with Lua, keybindings very often available in other apps). Interestingly it has helped me most with cli stuff, I can edit command lines much quicker and have even configured a keybind my shell to open the command line in Vim for editing.

If a terminal-based workflow is not your thing it's a tougher sell.
