> I always wonder how you deal with having to use the same part of your brain for writing the code you are writing and to "code vim commands"

I think the transformations you think about map very nicely to vim commands. If you want to move some code around for instance, the action you want in the brain is "delete line" and the vim mapping is "dd". So I'm never thinking about vim commands, I just have an internal mapping for the change I want to the command to do it.

This is where I find the productivity comes from, with a normal editor you go thought->action, thought->action, etc and I find if action is to long it can break the thought part.
