Just curious, what editor(s) do you use? I was using Sublime Text, and for the hardest part of switching to Vim was feeling the huge productivity drop in the beginning as I relearned how to do everything.

I weaned myself off other editors by using vim for thought-intensive programming. When most of your time is spent trying to come up with efficient solutions to your problems, spending a little time learning more about vim isn't so bad... and can be a welcome distraction.
I still use editors like atom for web development where I go through frequent iteration cycles and make heavy use of the clipboard.
I used sublime for a bit, but I didn't like getting nagged. Right now I'm using some JetBrains products and Nano.
I sketch everything out into nano, then I pull it into CLion when it's ready to be cleaned, updated, iterated, and in general changed to become a "final" version.

The trick is to pay for it.
