Fair enough--but that's more of a "cheat sheet" than anything else, you know? Learning the commands and committing them to muscle memory is part of the learning process for any app. Vim is known to be generally difficult (or at least time consuming) to learn because you have to first digest what the commands are before you can work on getting them into muscle memory. The question is: what features did you find that decided it was worth it to switch? If not for the feature itself, then how does the paradigm of its usage help you? For example, ci{ is often cited by developers is awesome. It's so much faster than highlighting text within curly braces and changing it so while it's a pretty simple thing, Vim's implementation makes it a breeze to use.
