At first, I thought commandline editors were anachronisms from the green screen days, good only for geek points.
But once I started playing around with linux and the console in particular, it became apparent just how quick vim could be to make that tweak to a config file.
And you only really ever seem to need to know just a few vim commands for that purpose (although I soemtimes edit scripts with it as well): insert, replace, delete line, search, save and quit, quit without saving.
The only annoyance is getting on a system which is perverse enough to only have vi instead of vim, and finding that backspace or something doesn't work.
