What about Emacs? I always found Vim UI (with the two modes) weird (but that's my own very subjective opinion).

It did not take me 2 years to take significant improvement in text editing. Maybe 2 weeks, if even that. Then you have plugins, but honestly I don't really use them all that much.

I mostly use basic keybindings, ssh access, and the "ace-mode" plugin that lets you jump around with ease.

The thing which makes me sad is that emacs is nowhere near the quality of IDEs in almost all languages (maybe the only exception is Emacs Lisp). So I have to suffer inferior editing capabilities to get all the nice stuff (jumping to definitions, refactoring).
