If you're forced to work in the terminal, vim's great. But to get it to do something approximating an IDE, is it worth the time to tweak configs/plugins and memorize hotkeys, rather than just using a _real_ IDE?

Besides that, I just find the whole method of navigating (skipping words, skipping an X amount of lines) counterintuitive. It's nothing I can get used to, I will always miss the precision of just taking the mouse and getting the cursor exactly where I want it in one sweep and click.
