I agree with parts of your comment, except for two extremely erroneous phrases. «My head is absolutely full of information.» and «...Vim is like truck nutz for programmers...»
- If your head is absolutely full, do yourself a favour and stop working in IT. Go do something else. There is now other way to put it.
- Go watch someone proficient in vim at work. You'll lose that image of truck nutz you have.
I do consider vim the wrong tool for the job of editing Java code. Refactoring with Eclipse (in my case) is wonderfully powerful and something impossible to achieve with vim. HTML/CSS/Javascript/XML/most everything else? VIM. Absolutely.
Even with the wonders of Eclipse refactoring tools, I do miss vim many times. VIM is like the command line of text editors: lots of small tools, with incredible combinations.
As for the bravado, everyone knows real programmers program using butterflies: http://xkcd.com/378/
