You've gotta manage your expectations properly. Vim takes time to learn. Trust that there's a payoff, be patient. I'd like to think my first attempt at becoming a Vim user stuck, but I took it slow. I was using Vim at my day job, and it went something like this:

1 month - really started to feel a productivity increase over text editing in an IDE

3 months - started to feel like I was flying

6 months - began desperately searching for Vim plugins for Eclipse
