Have fun in other editors for a while (no need to suffer something that annoys you), and reconsider vim in a year. Its ergonomics can be frustrating at first but the design is sound enough to be valuable, fun even. And I say as an emacs user :)

You don't really move a caret around in vim, you process units of text and lines.
