The worst part about being proficient with vi is when you use anything else. It’s all annoyingly slow to have to move your fingers away from the home position, or (gasp) move your whole hand off the keyboard to use the mouse. The user’s hands/fingers are the bottleneck for this whole human-computer interaction thing. We want to remove as much complexity as practical from that task to speed the whole process up.
VIMperator does just that. Highly recommended.
