I've heard memes and clout around using Vim, but I never got into it. I've seen people use it, but I personally don't think I'd like it just because I switch files frequently and like to see my file directory at all times. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Vim has auto-complete.
I'm not bashing Vim, I just was too lazy and busy to ever try it or learn using it. But, I'm open to change if people can convince me.
These days it can be difficult to make a super-strong case to say someone needs to learn Vim. My 2 cents are if you're even just a little curious about it, turn on Vim mode in any editor of your choice and see how it feels for a ~week.

It's not for everyone but you may find yourself leaning towards it and learning it eventually should your career take you down that road.
I enjoy the memes 😂.
Plugins can definitely assist. What I use is:

I may try that 😂 Thanks for the advice!
