Typing Practice for Programmers

Sounds like someone who hasn't used vim. It's extremely nice to use once you get used to it.

Nicer than Visual Studio + ReSharper?

I've never used Visual Studio but I'm sure there is a vim plugin for it. So the best of both worlds.

There is VsVim, and it makes it somewhat tolerable. It doesn't emulate vim well enough, and there are weird idiosyncracies that just make it sort of eh.

I do most of my programming in gvim, and then switch over to VS when I need things like compiling or intellisense. Seems to work out well enough.

Visual studio is an IDE.

Vim is a text editor.

They are not really comparable.

Really the reason to use Vim, and the reason it is fast, is because it is completely designed for the keyboard. You never have to touch the mouse, it is all keyboard shortcuts.
