Every couple weeks or so I learn or discover something vim can do that is immediately useful, and it replaces something I was doing wrong. Repetition is important for memorization (using Pentadactyl really helps with this part, btw), but only if you aren't trying to memorize a billion things all at once. The on-line help facility is great at helping you discover new things when you are reading to discover them."}
