I am very excited to see a vim mode (and emacs, and textmate). The command
line is a natural companion to the vim mode.

You can also type: Ctrl-J to jump between the command line and the editor
(in vim mode we could grok Esc too :).

Since this is all open source and JavaScript, I really hope that the
community comes together around customizing their editor. I also know that
we need to do a much better job on giving high level APIs and help for doing
this.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Cheers,

Dion
