One day during my vim journey I discovered filters and realised I could turbo charge my editing by running selections through any and all of unix and now I don't need fancy spacing plugins - I have `column` and I can `sort`

This then allowed me to golf a one line vim macro that shells out a selection to nc which connects to a clojure socket repl

I don't think many "vim modes" would allow that. The most earnest of vim modes is probably evil mode. Of course, only your true mortal enemy could ever understand you...
