I, uh... should preface this by saying that vim is my main editor, and I always install a vim plugin if possible when using a different one. It's great, it makes me faster, etc. etc.

Alright, that aside, when all is said and done I think a lot of people just want to edit their file. Parent comment about having to go to Google to do simple things makes a good point, and the response that "actually, I think having to read a bunch of troglodytes arguing with each other on Stack Overflow is an important part of the experience" is the kind of thing that makes it hard for everyone else to take vim fanatics seriously.
