Hmm. I use vim sometimes to edit text, and I find it markedly less ergonomic than using vim for editing code, for one key reason: text is typically organized in paragraphs, rather than lines, and all the vim movements make much more sense for lines.

Like, if I'm editing a block of text in a long paragraph that looks like a single line to vim, I don't have a mouse anymore, and up-down movements just leave the paragraph, so I usually find myself with awkward commands like `50w` to try and guess the number of words to move to the point where I'm trying to edit. Sadness.

Then again, this might just be because I don't have enough vim skillz yet. There's probably some command to make vim pretend a visual line is a real line...
