> There's a Vim mode in every single mainstream code editor out there.

Is it really a vim-mode, or a vi-mode? I mean, most of those are already very limited, but does any of them actually support vim-specific evolutions/changes?

And isn't the real question here: where does generic modal editing end, and when does vi(m) starts to display its specific personality?
