of course vim isn't intuitive. it's extremely hard to learn, cryptic, confusing, and in some cases deliberately obtuse, but is very fast and powerful once you've learned it. i don't evangelize vim at all. it's a very difficult tool used only by people who need its functionality and have the patience and intelligence to learn it. don't like it? not sold? then don't learn it. use something easier.
