No, Vim is not "hard" at all.

Vim is "complex", though, and it requires investment, just like any professional tool. One would be a moron to think he can master Photoshop, Fontlab, or Pro Tools in a week and one would be a moron to think one of those crappy distributions will make him master Vim in a week.

If you don't want to invest in Vim just use something else.



Yeah. I'm always baffled by these programmers complaining about the learning curve of vim or Git. Guess what, good tools are complex and you'll have to learn to use them and practice using them in any profession.
