I too use Vim. As it is with touch-typing, the key
to the successful learning of Vi(m) is to abstain
from the long-accustomed alternative procedures. In
other words -- just forget about all other text edi-
tors for a time.
But after you have wonted yourself to Vi(m), other
text editors won't be so poisonous anymore.

P.S.: I used to use TextPad (on Windows), in which
it is easy to set up a two-panel layout and a
script that would, upon pressing a hot-key,
process the text in one panel with a custom
groff pipeline showing the result in the other
panel.
With Vi, I have created a macro to quicker
process text, but I still do not know how to
have the output appear in another buffer, so
that I don't have to revert to the source code
by undoing the processing... Maybe Clark will
give advice...
