For my vim journey it was the draw of being able to quickly navigate and manipulate text without ever needing my hands to move away from the home row on the keyboard, and being willing to put in the time and effort to push past the learning curve.
I first settled on vim as a teenager because I was a fan of... performing surprise penetration tests.
It defaults to opening files read-only, so you don't have to worry about the access/modified time on the file changing if you open one for... science reasons.
