It's not about speed, it's about friction. I used many editors (like TextMate, Notepad++, that kind of thing) before Vim, and once I got into it, I saw the awkwardness I'd experienced in other editors vanish. I probably input code about as quickly as I did pre-Vim, but it's a lot more comfortable now.
