Vim certainly seems to have phenomenal potential. One problem I have, however, is the discovery of options, plugins, and "best practices" which lead to high productivity in vim. Basically, I want to pair program with some vim experts and talk about how they use vim. Incidentally, in relation to your last paragraph, I don't see any advantage to vim's keyboard usage because I use a Kinesis Classic with a Dvorak layout. My arrow keys, home, end, page up, and page down are all within reach from home row. And of course, the Dvorak layout makes some vim shortcuts less intuitive. As for the mouse, I hardly touch it while coding.
