I'm a Vim user and here are my 2 cents on the matter. Vim has a lot of keyboard tricks because there's a keyboard shortcut for almost everything. Don't worry about those right now. Here's how I would suggest you learn Vim: You already know the basics you can get into and out of insert mode you can save a file you can open a file. You now have a "complete" editor in the same way a Turing machine is Turing complete. The problem is it's inefficient. So figure out exactly what you're wasting time on and one at a time (or you could do a few at a time) look up the commands to automate these things. Make yourself use the commands every time they come up if you forget take the time to look it up again. You're going to notice a very steady rise in your efficiency.
