How long does the configuration of Vim take? I've never used it or attempted to use it, and never even knew it would even take time to be configured until I looked at your post.
As little or as much time as you want. Your don't have to spend any time on it at all if you're happy with vim out of the box. Most aren't. OTOH if you want all the bells and whistles and keep up with the latest trends and plugins, it could be a continuous journey with no end in sight. It's all up to what you want to do with it.
I'll second what Demian said - it takes as long as you want. A lot of the Vim users I know personally use a distribution of Vim called Janus which comes with most of the popular plugins pre-installed (including most, if not all, of the ones I set up individually above). It's a quick and easy way to get started!
