Interesting.
I've always dismissed VIM as a bit of a dinosaur of a text editor, but I'll definitly give it a try and see what I think of it after a few weeks.

There are two awesome editors out there: Vim and that other one. Over a year ago, I decided to take the plunge and learn either one of them (I chose the other one for a couple of personal reasons).
I've been learning to use the editor casually since then (over a year ago), and I feel I'm only now comfortable enough with my editor to let go of all the others (Notepad++, Kate…).
My point is that Vim and that other editor have a tough learning curve because they're so far away from the HIG guidelines that have become ubiquitous in our GUI world. Once you've gone through the effort of learning them, however, you won't be looking back!
I was astonished by the number of modern features that newer editors vaunt but which have been around for long in Vim and that other one, such as near-transparent network access to files.
