I think you don't feel it, because vim doesn't save you five minutes, twenty times a week; it saves you 0.75 seconds, eight thousand times a week. Same time savings, but much harder notice the pain before you've solved it. I never felt it either, back in my TextMate days. But one Thanksgiving holiday week, I told myself, you know there's got to be something to this if all these people I respect swear by it. I decided to use vim-only for two weeks, no matter what, and I'd switch back if I wasn't hooked. I was.
