One thing I'd stress: Start with Vim for side tasks, not to replace Sublime. Once you have the basics down, you can then layer on the IDE features (addons like Ag, NerdTree, CtrlP) that make Vim comparable to what you are used to in Sublime.

I'm happy to act as a coach for you (and anyone else), if it's helpful. If you have a good plan of attack, you can get Sublime-like functionality pretty quickly.

+10 to the suggestion to layer IDE features progressively.

My setup is after trial and error: vim + (nerd tree, command-T, tagbar, Gundo) inside a tmux session. On another tmux window, I use 'find ... exec...' to search. So far excellent for me, I feel Zen like coding with this setup with no IDE noise :-).

Thanks for the coaching offer, its really nice of you! However, you could consider writing a set of ramping up tutorials on using vim/spf13 and publish them somwhere, so that more than one person at a time could use your hard work.
