I don't think calling the subject matter the OP is trying to teach "a religion" or predicting downvotes on your comment is productive.
The 2nd is definitely against the site guidelines.
To address your other comments, I can share a personal anecdote. When I started programming, I basically just learned the bare minimum VI commands to get around. I didn't see it as "a religion" or a relic from the past, but I saw a fairly steep learning curve that wasn't a high priority for me to tackle at the time.
Years later, I did get into it. It's been good for me in terms of efficiency, but much more importantly, it's been good for my health. At the end of 2017, I had severe RSI and from working an extreme schedule on a startup and a poor ergonomic setup. My wrists were so injured that it hurt to even brush my teeth.
I got an ergonomic keyboard, and made a concerted attempt to use the mouse as little as possible (and balance that little bit between both hands). I made VIM my primary driver, regardless of what other editor I was using. Even on web pages, I attempted to use keyboard navigation where feasible, especially in email and similar apps.
As a result, I've no healed to where I do full-time weeks at the keyboard again and I will probably always be grateful to VIM (and Kinesis!)
