I'm assuming you're jumping the cursor around to get to a different location in the text to make an edit? I use / (search forward) and ? (search backwards) a lot. It means that when you think to yourself "I need to edit XYZ" the command is, jump to XYZ, instead of down-across -across etc. No doubt, becoming proficient in vim is a big commitment that you really have to work at. Personally I think it's a great editor though.
