Thank you for your opinion. Have you asked to – for example – Vimb developers to merge Vimprobable2 and Vimb? This will create a better Vim-like web browser, focusing on being standard. You are right. It's all about learning curve. But with all these things that require the control of the keyboard e.g. dwm, i3, vim, bash, touch typing, vimprobable, vimb and mutt; it's a difficult task to master and to be confident with all the keybinding, it takes a lot of time, and it's hard to stay calm and relaxed. I've been using Vim for a long time, and I still don't master it to think with certainty that mouse driven text editor aren't better. An app that helps to practice shortcuts for every applications would be superb. Like exercises that heps you to practice shortcuts of differents applications at the same time – not only focused on one. The learning curve is so long, and the keybindings are changing so fast... You just switch to an other app and go back to the begining of the curve.
