Im trying to learn vim in my spare time. Obviously, I am fumbling around and am nowhere near as productive coding than in the IDEs im used to.

For you vim masters put there, how long do you think it will be before I would be productive enough to use it as my main editor, assuming primarily learning in my free time outside of work?

    I had to stop using all other IDEs and only used vim for two weeks to learn. You memorize the keyboard shortcuts a lot faster when that's your only option.

    I agree. 2 weeks. you will never know everything. type in "vimtutor" and go through it at least one time completely.

    Good to know. Im slowly starting to get the hang of navigation and replacements. Workin between multiple files is still pretty hard right now.
