I suffer from the same thing. I've gone even futher: I've customized my tiling wm to work with the vim keybindings; my file manager also works with those keybindings; I use vimperator, a firefox plugin, that has those keybindings...

There's a lot of stuff that I wish were better in vim, but, at the end of the day, it gets my work done better than anything else out there, so I don't have any reason to move away from it. It works amazingly well with tmux (otherwise, I would be using emacs + evil -which I actually use for Clojure-). And I'm pretty excited about neovim :). They are doing an outstanding job.



Yep. Pretty much every piece of software that I write for myself or use I write or customize so that it has vim style modes and keybindings. Keyboard input is still the highest bandwidth human computer interface (voice can't quite make it because error rates mean that the bandwidth actually ends up being lower), and modality is an excellent way to reduce complexity and provide simple cues that make it easy to compartmentalize and remember lots and lots of useful commands.
