Is Vim really that good? [closed]

Question

I had to see what all the fuss was about Vim so tried it out for a little while; built a whole site in it. In the end I decided I was less productive.

So my question is: is Vim really that good or is it just one of those ultra-nerdy things people want to use so they can say: "I use Vim". Vim seems a little cumbersome to me. I know it's supposed to be lean but I think the years development and the mass of contributes has left it untidy. Am I wrong? Should I stick it out with Vim? What are the advantages of Vim?

Hope this helps.
