FWIW, I just switched from Textmate to MacVim 6 days ago, and am already nearly as productive in it as I was on Textmate (no prior vim experience)

I personally found it best to just embrace the vimness (with cheat-sheets beside my monitor). I barely accomplished any work on day 1, but by the end of day 2 I was moving along pretty comfortably.

I switched some months ago and I'm not going back. Don't forget to install vimperator on firefox too.

I posted some screenshots of my setup here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2053516

Using tmux instead of normal terminal tabs is also a huge improvement.
