No, the whole point of ViM bindings is that MY bindings are the same everywhere. That's why it's main config is a simple textfile that I can just `git clone` or `sftp` onto whatever machine I intend to spend more than a few seconds writing code on.
Which, incidentially, is something that is an absolute PITA, if it's possible at all with the more "modern" editors, or on the off chance it isn't a PITA, usually depends on some specific platforms offerings.

Well, from my PoV, what with i3 desktop, vim in the terminal, and the browser being the only GUI application that I use regularly, vim seems to fit in pretty well with everything else.
