I can't use vim effectively because I constantly try to navigate using WASD.

I know I can bind it, but the thought of rebinding every command and then being dependent on towing the configuration to every computer I'd ever use scares me.

So I use it on occasion with the same artfulness as someone on crutches trying to dance.

Maybe someday someone will default an 'FPS' control layout.
