I'm someone they cater too. I'm somewhere on the intermediate end of the scale for vim users and I love it's modal editing. But I also like modifying and specializing my editor and VimScript is to put it mildly a really sucky scripting language. And no the {perl,python,ruby} bindings do not improve the situation significantly. Viper with Vimpulse get me close enough and still allow me to modify my editor in a lisp dialect. I'm willing to sacrifice some of the edge case uses of Vim to have this power. It's not ideal but it's currently better than vanilla Vim or Emacs. I have hopes for Yi in the future but it's not there yet and development has only recently started to pick up on the project again so it has a ways to go.
