Just try it. Your favorite editor almost certainly has a vim motions plugin, try it for a week and see if you go back.

I did try it. It seems to me that I would have to invest too much time for not much benefit, I would rather learn a new programming language, listen to a talk or read a book than spend hours learning a new method to edit text while I can do that just fine, with decent speed.
`vimtutor` from the CLI (on a computer with vim installed) is the best way I know of to pick up vim.
