I use vim daily at work. You remember the codes as you use them, just as you learn/remember where things are in a GUI. A GUI takes up screen space and also is inefficient to keep switching between keyboard/mouse. So instead you wind up using the keyboard shortcuts that the GUI may or may not advertise. May as well cut out the middleman.
