I think you hit the nail right on the head here. It can be detrimental to try and learn vim (or emacs, for that matter) while trying to get stuff done, but it is necessary to immerse yourself, as it were.
For those who don't use vim, switch right now (unless you're at work.) If you want to be productive, you'll have to learn to love the home row.
As an aside, it might be worth it to learn a couple of emacs movement commands as well if you're using OS X, as you'll be able to navigate textboxes without leaving the home row as well!
