When I'm on Linux, I do like vim for programming (I got used to it at one of
the jobs I had), though I don't think vi or vim would be suitable as a message
editor.  I feel like it's a "right tool for the job" type of thing.

That said, lately I've used vim less for programming on Linux these days, in
favor of things like Visual Studio Code & such.  However if I'm not using a
GUI (just a text terminal), then I'll use vim out of habit.
