Depends on how you approach it, but, if you are particular, it can take weeks to get everything setup. First you have to learn a lot about vim and what it does. Then you have to memorize the all the shortcuts for all the stuff, there are quite a few. Then muscle memory those. For me personally, there are about 10 plugins I use regularly that don't ship with vim, that I had to discover and learn how to use. So you have to run into an issue, discover its not in vim core, see if there is a plugin, pick a plugin, install it, learn how to use it, etc. Then there is configuring vim to do all the stuff you want. MacVim + Janus.vim helps a ton, but even so, there is tons more stuff to learn about vim to do your daily tasks than there is probably anything else in programming
