Learning VI is steep but once you learn it you will be amazed that you no longer have to think or look for any menu/tool bar. Your fingers will know the key sequence and be done with it before you realize it.

All the supposed benefits are already mine. I use the keyboard and keyboard shortcuts to do basically everything, with the rare exception of tasks that are faster with a combination of mouse and keyboard use.
Perhaps I'd be faster still... but you do seem to assume a far lower level of efficiency in my text editor use than I actually enjoy.
