vim is one of those programs I love but would never suggest that anyone use it

but every so often I wonder -- who might want to switch to using vim in 2025? my sense is that vim (and especially neovim) actually are still acquiring lots of new users but I don't have a good sense for what "kind" of person is choosing to start using them today

(as usual not looking for reasons people started using vim 20 or 30 years ago)
