I love to watch people who know how to use VIM well write. It's like watching the movies, they type seemingly 100s of characters and stuff that seems unrelated but magical happens on the screen!

cat typing fast!

I've tried. At a push, on a server that has nothing else I can make vi just about update a line. I got bought a book by a former colleague, it just never stuck for me. My brain is not wired for it, and I really do regret that lol.

Even my brain wasn't wired for Vim, but it is possible to learn it. The first day you'll hate it. In a week you'll understand it and by a month you'll never go back.

If you get some time you should try learning it. Just run $ vimtutor (in the terminal) for a quick 30-min intro.
