For the record, THIS vim user feels exactly the same as Gavin. You're 
never going to convert people who use vim efficiently with a 1% or even 
20% clone. I don't use all of vim, but everyone that uses vim's advanced 
features uses a different subset.

I was thinking the same as Gavin. How can anyone write a useful vim 
clone? I see now that the question has been answered. Good luck with 
your goals, and be sure to let us know when you've covered at least 80% 
of vim's features, no matter how obtuse you personally believe them to be.
