(Then again, there's the fact that I don't really *need* to learn
vim at all, I just want to! In my search for the best text editor to
use, I keep coming back to wanting to learn vim.)

Why not try the Cream configuration for Vim (http://cream.sf.net)? It
will feel like gedit or kate, but it's still Vim. And it won't change
your actual Vim configuration so you can switch back and forth or use
both at the same time. (Cream is basically just a sophisticated
vimrc.)
