I finally started using Vim sort of by force, and am already becoming proficient with it after a few hours (and liking it). The reason was that my ISP sent me a cheap Chromebook for free, and I've started using it for coding during my commute (and relegating my old laptop to my music studio). A few days ago there was a ChromeOS update that seems to have killed the ability to connect to code-server (a VS Code server) from the browser, no matter what I tried, and then I tried my old trusty Emacs and I can't get MELPA to detect go-mode at all.
Infuriated by all of the above I found a nice tutorial on how to set up Vim for Go development, used vimtutor, and now I've been able to do non-trivial amount of work while on the train. I actually rather enjoy vim now.
I very much enjoyed the first level. Already quite proficient in vim, I balked at the cost of the full game - but it might well be worth it in your situation.
