Now that I REALLY think about it.... I guess I don't need vim. I am one of those persons who tries to convince themselves they need vim for everything to fit in the with the cool kids. I understand the hypocrisy and I kinda need this hypocrisy for motivation reasons I guess.
Modifying Vim to the point it replicates notepad defeats the purpose of using vim. I need a handful of Vim key bindings but beyond that customizing the rc file to make it more like notepad is just too much of a hassle.
I use text wrap and frequently use the scroll zoom. I miss 2-3 letters words in my writing so I have to get to them quickly when I am revising. Being a vim novice vim is great for me as I am writing but not for editing and revising.
And Windows environment really isn't great for rapid typing with vim. Initializing the terminal takes me 10-20 seconds.
