Is vim good for big project?
In my opinion, Vim gives you a very strong editor with basic features, but it’s up to you to spice it up with scripts/addons you’ll most likely use in your projects. These will probably be different depending on whether you mostly edit scripts, documentation, or files that need to be compiled.
Is coding in vim worth it?
Definitely yes. If you are a power user, who edits text-files regularly, and you want syntax-highlighting on many different scripting languages/log file types, probably working in the console on a linux machine, vim is a must!

Vim is a text editor that’s more powerful than notepad. It can do anything from editing small files to programming software.
Is vim good for development?
Working at Amazon, I wouldn’t say Vim is the #1 choice for a lot of people, but almost all devs will know how to use it to some extent. Some people do use it as their preferred editor and some use IDEs but with VIM hotkey plugins. But Eclipse/IntelliJ/Sublime are probably more popular for primary development.
