I'm sure there's a much nicer, scientific way to articulate this, but one interesting observation I took away from learning Vim (in terms of bindings) and Workman simultaneously is that, at least in my mind, typing sequences are not stored how I expected; for example, 'apple' is not learned as LPinky, RRing, RRing, RIndex, RMiddle, but more like LPinkyRRingRRing, RIndexRMiddle (i.e. in bunches). I know the Workman layout now, and I can hit the same WPM as I had after 20 years of QWERTY, but if I come across a word with sequences I've not yet typed (it happens from time to time, about 6 years in), I will have to revert to the char-by-char typing until I learn those sequences. I found the same with Vim; there's multi-key commands that after some use, my brain has just filed under "indent this block" with the finger movements. The benefit of the modal editing is that sequences of commands can be chained very quickly without finger strain, and code editing starts to become as easy and nice as regular typing.
