The advantage of Vim is efficiency and speed. The disadvantage is that it has a longer learning curve.

For something like editing text, as a programmer you do this endlessly - it is absolutely worth it to be ruthlessly efficient at this, even if you have to pay effort learning it.

But for, say, installing a plugin in your text editor... that's something you do a handful of times a month. The mouse is much more adaptable and easy to use, even if you give up accuracy.

This way, you can be efficient at editing text without having to learn keybindings for a bunch of misc things that you do rarely.
