I made myself recently to use VIM and to give it a full go. Found some plugins, installed them and got it for a spin. At first it was a complete chaos, a one big mess with all kind of different keystrokes, bashing over keyboard, tying to find out what fits my needs, what I really need, and what is just there but not being used. After 2-3 days it all settled down. Now I enjoy working in VIM and fingers memorized all keystrokes that I need. I still miss some commands/features and will eventually find out how to do those things (multi line comment/uncomment, indentation, etc.)

tl;dr If you really want to learn VIM, start using it, and google everything that you need.
