learn emacs. Yeah, I know what that sounds like. You don't have to also use it forever, just for, say, 6 months. Then you use both at the same time. You're brain will have rewired a pretty sturdy understanding of different ways to edit and you'll be able to switch painlessly between emacs, vim and non-editors (like the HN textbox).

Well anyway, it worked for me. I have no trouble switching between the 3 editing modes while I program, edit configs and write email (thunderbird for now).

There is no way, just give in! Soon you will be sitting in Awesome or xmonad or wmii, using vimperator for browsing and vim for everything else ;)

it's not madness. humans are capable of so much if we put a bit devotion into it (e.g. hard-waring finger movement X with vim procedure Y, or even touch typing)

this makes me wondering the limit of human interfaces. how far can we transform into cyborgs through just "practicing"?

Madness? This is VIM!
