Vim doesn't give many cues as to what commands are being issued. If (using the previous example) you yank three lines then passive observer has no idea that anything has happened. That would be confusing for anyone. I'm in my fourth week of vim after using Netbeans for years. I'm still waiting for these magical performance improvements. I think that good, consistent keyboard shortcuts are useful but completely ignoring the existence of modern GUIs and the mouse is just stubborn.
