Yes, I'm sure this is true. It's just that it takes a really long time to get all the commands into muscle memory. I've been using Vim for over a decade and still don't feel comfortable doing more than quick edits to individual files.
All editors from Notepad to ST / Atom, Browsers and Document editors have the same keys for search, replace, new tab, close tab, new document.
But learning vim is a completely different language. I mean that in the sense of actually learning a spoken language. Until you're fluent in it, it's really awkward.
My latest step has been finally to get round to using tabs which I'd never even really considered for Vim. But even that requires learning all the new tab commands, there's no Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab.
I'm in the Windows world which doesn't help with learning Vim as it's just not as pleasant experience as using it in the Linux command prompt.
