It's true. It made me develop an automatic reflex to hit the Esc key every time after inserting a couple of characters, even when I wasn't using vi at all. It was pretty annoying. Imagine typing a document in Word and pressing Esc constantly. Fortunately I switched to Emacs and the reflex went away.

But don't you find yourself hitting C-a to go to the beginning of a line and then insert a line break, then inadvertently deleting everything on the page. As an Emacs user, I do this all the time.

One nice thing about OSX is that some emacs movements work in most programs.

C-a, C-e, C-n, C-p, C-k, C-y (kill yank not quite the same)

Edit: C-f and C-b too

Edit 2: Just checked and word is not one of these programs :(

Here's a link to add Emacs keybindings to Word on Mac OS X. Hopefully it's still accurate.
