A very strong editor, but with a very steep learning curve

I have been using Vim as my editor of choice for the better part of 25 years now. It has many very useful features and is, once you know how to use it, a convenient tool for basic editing. Since it's available out-of-the-box on most Unix and Linux-based systems (including MacOS) it provides much-needed consistency when working on multiple systems, and allows me to do basic and advanced editing everywhere. Its powerful editing commands include regular-expression-based search-and-replace, quick undo and redo commands, copy/cut/paste commands, and many others. I also love the ability to configure defaults in a .vimrc file so I can save my preferences between sessions, and automatic syntax highlighting is also a personal favorite. But, without question, the best feature of Vim is its ability to handle ridiculously large files without problem.

Best tool for Creating/Editing files in CLI

Working with Vim makes you an excellent developer, as it is widely used in most of the organizations to work on servers. It is very efficient with very limited resource utilization and high performance and provides you the functionality to automate. In the long run, everyone finds it very helpful for their productivity. It is especially useful for people working on servers through CLI and who need to use it frequently.
