I guess I'm being all Statler and Waldorf here, but the hipster 'look at me I only need a text editor' is bullshit.
I'll grant you that it's been a fairly annoying meme over the last year or two, but people are being productive every day using text editors and they probably don't care whether you think it's bullshit or not. Be productive and use what you like. Since you have such a strong reaction to it I'd love to know why you think it's "bullshit".
Of course, I use vim every day too. I also use Visual Studio every day, and the things for which I use Visual Studio would take me 3 times as long if I had to do that with vim - and vice versa.
It's a good thing too that most people don't pay too much attention to what I think, it would have a rather devastating effect on the world I'm afraid.
(what I think is bullshit is the reflex where somebody learns something new and before reaching the level of competence where one starts finding flaws and drawbacks of said thing starts advocating it to the rest of the world as the silver bullet that will solve all problems. I recognize the pattern all too well since I've fallen so often for it myself. It's the exuberance of youth I guess.)
