Agreed. It's nuts to me when I see a fellow developer manually scanning code instead of searching. Then slooooooowly selecting text with the mouse, grabbing an extra letter or two, going back, not getting quite enough, going back again, then right clicking and scanning the context menu for copy, then scrolling to paste and . . . you get the idea.
If I'm ever in a situation to be in charge of a hire, part of the interview is going to watch them work on something to see if they are using at least some reasonable shortcuts. Don't have to be a VIM power user, but cut, copy, paste, home, end are a bare minimum in my opinion.
