Most of what makes Vim what it is derives from the fact that it's a modal editor. If there's no way to turn NP++ into a modal editor you won't get far. A quick look at NP++ plugins page shows no Vi[m] plugin so I'd answer "no".

Whatever, the best way to learn Vim is to use it. I'd suggest you keep using NP++ for serious work and force yourself to use Vim for everything else. Once, if ever, you'll be ready, drop NP++ and use Vim full time.
