I used to dislike vim because of its steep learning curve - my brain would say "I'll always forget it and it won't be worth it". After learning vim (only the very basics), it continues to put a smile on my face now and then. It's like someone has given me 8 to 10 lego pieces and what I can do can be imagined on the spot. Stack the lego pieces and voila, yet another smile on a rather dim morning. Vim is great, but I totally understand my old self that was put off by the elite/snob culture and their ways to scare you away. All said, if you don't know vim and don't want to learn it, you're not missing out on an occasional smile and a kick in discovering ysa2t or whatever the command. It's not as hyped up as it is treated by the elites. It's good.
