It isn't anything like vim since it doesn't utilize a modal paradigm. Rather what mle means with modes is different keymaps depending on context, i.e. replace grep with git grep if .git exists. If you want to compare to something else, it can said it's a more advanced (aforementioned keymaps, splittable windows, and others) Lua-extensible nano.
