I'd reached a plateau with vim and I was good with it, but knew I didn't have the full power. Then I started doing other things with it than just coding, and it moved me to a whole new level. I started writing text, stuff like my blog and emails, and suddenly a whole lot of extra commands started to make sense. For example, block commands like '}' and ')', and formatting with 'gqap', and so on. I was now doing really powerful stuff at the word, line, sentence and paragraph levels. Before I could do 'cw' and be happy; I knew there was a 'cW', but who could be bothered. Now I really understand and I can use all that without thinking. Then I was able to take those new skills back to writing code, so my vim-fu when coding is so much more powerful. It is a whole new level above what I had before.
