In my personal experience (fwiw), people who try vim and don't get it either 1) just don't want/need what vim offers, or 2) don't approach it with the "vim is an editing language" approach.

If you're in the #1 camp, chalk it up to experience and move on.

Otherwise, at some point consider giving it another try, but Google up some articles specifically about the language aspect of vim. It's a lot easier to get up to speed and make better use of vim that way.
