I've been a Vim user for 4 years now. I enjoy Vim and I'm definitely more productive using all those household keystroke shortcuts without having to move my fingers too much around. Really, everyone should try Vim once in their lives.
But there's something weird that happens to me whenever I adventure myself into a longer or smarter key combination that does a lot for little (ie. a macro). My mind will actually figure out the correct sequence quickly (< 1s) and fire it up... but then, after accomplishing my goal, I freeze during ~5s with a strange, contemplative doze in my face. That's when all the productivity it gave me goes down the drain.
So maybe too much keyboard shortcutting ends up overloading the brain at some point or another, in an effort to learn, rinse, repeat or out of sheer ecstasy.
