Learning vim commands won't increase how fast you type, it will increase how fast you edit.

Again, does it matter how fast you edit when compared to spotting what to edit, which change to make, and how to explain it to your teammates? I think it matters very little. Obviously, if you're so slow you it drives your teammates crazy then it becomes a problem, but really, I don't think the difference lies in learning VIM's shortcuts.
