In my experience it was about 3-4 weeks of forcing 100% use before vim became more effective than regular text editing, but a lot of the pain was gone after ~1.

Then you know it for life. Unquestionably worth it.
- WilliamEdward 7y agoIt only took me like a week to get used to vim. I obviously still don't use it to its full capabilities but i can use it like a normal text editor now. Emacs by comparison makes no sense to me.
