Embrace the suptimal. You can live a pretty good life being suboptimal. I've been using Emacs for over twenty years, and only know a small percentage of its commands. Every now and then, I realize I'm doing something repetitive, and I use a few minutes to find out what the best way to do it is, and then I've learned a new thing (most recent: M-; , for "comment-Do What I Mean"). There is no reason to wait until you're great before you start using a text editor.
