not hard. most of those things can be googled in seconds and copy pasted into .vimrc

I would say vim is easier to configure than, for example emacs

Non-engineer: "What is .vimrc?" And no, for example solarized takes quite a bit of googling to learn exactly which files to copy from GitHub (red flag: non-engineer has to go to GitHub and download a raw file), and then fiddle with the color settings depending on which terminal you're using.
