I'm not the author but have been on Workman and Vim for about 8 years. I don't think the meaning matters at all outside of the initial learning phase. Now it's all completely "muscle memory"; having to think "I want to move a word along, word starts with 'w' and 'w' is the key for moving a word along" would annihilate any efficiency modal editing gives. When I'm using Vim, it's just a matter of "I want the cursor there and I know this particular finger movement does that". I remapped probably Vim 10-15 keys 8 years ago, no issues so far.
