OT: The so called "steep learning curve" of vim...

Hi,

it is often said, taht certain software has a "steep learning curve".
Vi/vim is such an example for the use of this phrase...

I was thinking of this phrase and the graph I would draw if I had
to show an example for such a "steep learning curve"...

I would take the time as measure for the x-axis and the amount
of stuff I have learned about -- for example -- vim as a measure
for the y-axis..
Then I would draw that "steep learning curve" as an graph
which goes -- say -- from 0,0 to 5,30.

And watching this graph I would read it as
"Using vim give one a great amount of knowledge in a very short time."

So....why so many take this as a point of critic???

Using software which a needs a lot of time to learn
much lesser ... that is the problem I think...!

Or...what do I misinterpret here? ;)

Best regards,
mcc
