Not at all. I don't program other than writing occasional shell
scripts. Most of my use of Vim is for writing prose. Using
anything else for composition and editing is unthinkable.
Whenever I try to use a word processor or other editor for
writing, the document ends up with unwanted auto-formatting and
tell-tail Vim commands in the text.
Go through the vimtutor included with the program, but also read
the user manual (:h usr_toc). It is based on the book "Vi
IMproved--Vim", which is an in-depth tutorial. The user manual is
truly excellent.
