There are people who get too fancy with vim, but it really is an invisible tool to many. Team around me changed IDEs multiple times and kept complaining about features changing, meanwhile I was using vim with some basic set of plugins like I've been doing for a decade, just works as always. Sublime is also a good invisible tool.

I don't care that vim looks "hacker" and has no GUI, but being able to run it via ssh is very convenient when dealing with remote machines, especially when your codebase isn't allowed to leave that.
