Esteemed Vim gurus,
I did a presentation at EmacsConf a few days ago that some of you may enjoy. It is related to both Emacs as well as Vim:
There's only so much you can say in 15 minutes while sleep deprived, so I just want to make clear my great fondness and admiration for Vim and the Vim community. To further annotate the talk, the important thing is less that there are noun-specific modes and more that modes of any specification (e.g. "submodes" of normal mode, or modes containing entirely different (and not necessarily singular) nouns) can be interrelated and structured, to provide a "scalable" user interface paradigm unconstrained by the limitations of the input device.
Thanks, and enjoy!
