I feel almost the same, although after trying to force vim on myself for a week I found that I missed the basic motion commands (moving across words and lines, deleting words and lines, etc.). It does feel faster to not have to move my right hand to somewhere else to move around in my code. Fortunately just about every modern IDE and editor has some kind of vim emulation so I can get the best of both worlds!
