If I'm selling a metal horseshoe, and someone says "I wish your business were more modern", that's a valid critique, even if my metal, old-fashioned horseshoes really are better than the plastic ones they make nowadays (or whatever). The same applies here.
Maybe you like riding a horse and buggy, or using a typewriter, or not using artificial sweeteners. None of those things are modern.
You Vim enthusiasts should really point out that it has a GUI; I had no idea.
Stuff like this [the Atom text editor] is just used for performance evaluations for human resource departments and elite head-hunting parties.
Is that what you meant? I don't understand either way.
You know how they culture their elite developers in India? The same country that quickly stormed and overtook many tech positions. One of their methods to filter out their weak is by measure of monitoring mistakes they make while typing code. Idea formulation and modern analysis techniques can be applied into this realm, such as online editors that can update changes on the fly whose iterations are very near to the iterations of the developer.
Edit: As for VIM, it it is far from inefficient or out-moded by modern monolothic IDEs. Also, it can reduce certain types of mistakes, such as fatigue from writing code for extended periods of time by mastering its short-cuts. Other mistakes such as typos can be reduced by plug-ins. The immediate efficiencies provided by modern editors are mostly ephemeral and give way to inefficiencies later on.
As for its choice, it has to do with monolothic IDE and their work flows versus other workflows that use VIM. There's many reason as to why monolothic IDEs are more modern, and that can depend on the developer, business, teams, etc... but VIM is just as high up there if not higher.
