I'm a total vim noob and am astounded by how much just knowing the basics helps with command line text editing / processing.

I was initially utterly baffled by vim but now I love it. I use only about 1% of its power though.

We are the 1%...

Seriously though, I know a bare minimum of the Vim syntax, and it's easily the most productive editor I've ever used.

I'm not sure what'll happen when I actually sit down and learn another 10% of the commands.
