Yeah I guess the next like 25% of the value I get from vim comes from "df(" and "ct)" type commands.

Also "dd" and "p" a lot to move lines around and "J" to consolidate them.

So maybe I do use a pretty large amount of functionality pretty frequently :)

I've been thinking maybe that other comment nailed it and most of us who downplay how useful it is to really learn vim have just already done that and forgotten that it was really useful.
