Many of these Vim users are not really Vim users - not in the sense that Emacs users are Emacs users anyways. Sure, they use Vim - but only because it's a default editor in Unix-like systems. If Windows Notepad was the default text they wouldn't have installed Vim so they could use it - they simply would have used Notepad. They just want something that'll allow them to edit text files, and they don't care to learn anything more advanced than the most basic stuff they need - opening it from the shell to edit a file, typing text, saving, closing. Other simple commands - like opening another file in the same session - might also be basic and simple, but because they are not part of that workflow these users won't bother to learn them.
I wouldn't call those Vim users, even I can do that. But that is only because sometimes I need to SSH in to a computer and edit a file that doesn't provide anything other than Vim.
