The Primeagon and Rene Rebe come to mind. Tsoding uses emacs and flys around. I'm still new to neovim and can say the speed at which I can transfer my ideas into the editor is significantly higher.

approximately nobody is competent in Vim because it isn't worth learning

You think thousands of developers are handicapping themselves for bragging rights?
