This is why I learned Vim and why I find its theory of interaction superior to other text editors.

Maybe a century down the road we will have vim-customized keyboards. Tangible keyboards will always have a place, I think, because they provide tactile feedback, unlike "pictures under glass" like you get with touch screens.

It would be quite ironic to have vim-customised keyboards, seeing as how vi's interaction models is modelled on an old, now obsolete keyboard.

I agree that modal editing is a great idea, but I'm not convinced vim's is the best (even though I do use it in any editor).

Looks like it's good for someone who cannot be bothered to learn pinyin or wubi.
