While I wouldn't go so far as to claim that you *must* learn to
touch-type before you learn to use vim, I find the orthogonality
mirrors that of vim. The more touch-typing you learn (or the more
vim motions you learn), the more proficient your editing. The more
vim you learn (or the more vim actions/commands you learn), the more
proficient your editing. But combine them and you get multiplicative
benefits, not just linear increase in benefits.
