Mentally counting words to move your cursor to right spot isn't a great way to move horizontally. I would usually do something like "/someVariable" and hop my cursor to the exact spot I'm looking for. If it's further in the line, just hit "n". It's pretty fast. But if you just need to move one word over w and b are nice.
Even with vertical movement I never count lines. Relative line numbers make it so you don't have to. Counting is not part of my vim experience.
