It is reasonable, but... I have been using vi/vim for almost 15 years now. Various technologies have come and gone (or persisted), but the underlying tool I use to make them sing has not. Early in my career I made the decision to learn vim, and it is not a decision I have ever regretted. Yes, it meant that in the beginning there were things that took me longer to do. But now? Now I can do so much more so much quicker.
And after a while -- and it is not all that long of a while -- it becomes second nature. The fundamentals become a part of your fingers, just like touch typing. You no longer have to hunt and peck to type out the word "lightning". You just do it. vim's keybindings become similarly engrained. It just takes practice.
