VIM. I used to feel pretty clunky in it, but I try to pick up a new thing every week or so. Most recent things I've learned: * and # search forwards and backwards for the word under the cursor. ^N and ^P do keyword completion.

my $really_lo^N
my $really_long_variable_name : )

I haven't gotten a good basis of movement commands, so I'm still lazy and use visual mode a lot. Picking up the keyboard arrow keys (h, j, k, l to move around) is REALLY handy. I recommend giving it a try if you haven't.
