> VIM's modal editing isn't remotely simple. While it is highly non-intuitive at first, one can learn the basics in a day or two, from then on it's mostly transferring what you learn to muscle memory. I suppose one can do more advanced stuff in vim that is more complex to learn, but the basics are pretty easy. (Full disclosure: I used to to use vim for a couple of years but switched to emacs about ten years ago. I still use vi for quickly editing a config file on a regular basis.)
