Yea, it forces you to use the vim bindings.  This is advantageous, since your hands don&#x27;t leave the home row.  It seems minor, but when you actually &quot;get&quot; vim, you&#x27;ll actually see speed improvements.  It sounds silly, the half second saved here and there, but once you&#x27;ve done it long enough, you get into a flow that you just can&#x27;t get moving your hands to the arrows or mouse.
