To reprise a previous comment, I think vi mode suffers because it's a relatively niche feature - none of the current committers use it as far as I know, and pull requests to improve it are relatively infrequent. 1.8% of the pull requests into the (not yet released) 3.2.0 are for Vi mode, which is a slight increase on previous milestones, and includes support for dh, dl, c0, cf, ct, cF, cT, ch, cl, y0, tilde, ci', ci", yi', yi", di' and di".

I don't think it helps that it's this huge target area which (the small number of?) users use a slightly different 10% of, and it can be quite complex to integrate new features into existing editor state.

Sure, understandable and reasonable. Just wanted to mention it for others that may care. Fish has some great stuff in there. But, in my case, 30 years of vi muscle memory was hard to blunt.
