You just didn't dig it.

For example, name me another editor where you can jump in less then a second to any letter of the text ? You always have to click. Contrary to that, editing in vim is like programming since you have editing DSL. All editors provide shortcuts to just some of the editing capabilities (duplicate/delete line, next word, prev word etc.) but not ALL of the imaginable and unimaginable scenarios like vim does, in a way that is instantly programmable to your liking without messing with configuration.
