I'm not bothering to talk about non default layouts. Remapping is a separate discussion, since I could just as easily say it's better to remap wasd to the arrow function and have the FN key toggle it, since a much higher number of people already have that navigation method trained into muscle memory. This is a preference game no matter what, but it becomes an especially pointless discussion if you base it on custom layouts.

Custom layout was only part of my answer. Most vim users don't use custom layouts and second point still holds.

Great idea. I would give you like 5% of what vim offers but 5% is better than 0%.

All vim users have hjkl trained into muscle memory. No one is saying that it's automatically better. vim has a learning curve. When you know how to use it it's simply better than traditional editors.
