I was the exact same until I started using relative line numbers. Then I can just look at a line and see that it's N lines down and jump there immediately. With j or k repeat I'll often over shoot and then have to go back which is kind of annoying.

How is this easier than jumping straight to the line with absolute numbers?

    15j is easier than 4879gg. It’s a little bit quicker on big files—not a huge difference.

      The information is also more relevant. How many lines a function or block has might make a difference, but the absolute file position is, more often than not, irrelevant.
