I think some of us die hards push the pure vim way too hard. For example, while in insert mode

`end` is easier than `esc A` `ctrl+home` easier then `esc g g i` ...

Yehuda's advice isn't so bad. If the purpose is to be as efficient as possible, which is what I think most of us strive for, then why not use the extra keys? It took several weeks, actually months to become productive in Vim. Learning was a cycle of try Vim, get frustrated, go back to modeless editor until there is some down time, repeat. Vim bootcamp wasn't any fun.
