Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi
It took me far too long to really start using vim. I have to say, though, that as an avid user now I find it really annoying to find dw yy p :q and :w in the other editors I have to use on other machines. It does take discipline, though, but it is really FUN. How awesome is it to find some really sweet new key combination you didn't know existed? I almost never seek out the obscure settings of newer IDEs yet I often randomly search out new key combinations for vim. Love it.
