It feels like the author's claim that 3D modeling is just like using VIM could be generalized to "any application that has keyboard shortcuts can resemble VIM in that the keyboard can be used to do things in the application". It seems like there's some overlap in Blender's keyboard shortcuts and VIM's key bindings, but the bit about using a mouse seems like a pretty big departure from VIM usage.
- eriknstr 10y agoAnother kind of, sort of, similarity between vim and Blender is that vim has different editor modes (normal mode, visual mode, insert mode and so on) and Blender also has a kind of different modes (object mode, edit mode and others), though I think the modes in Blender relate more to the mouse cursor and not so much to the keyboard.
