Yeah, that example is not particularly good, especially since you can do C-# (where # is the number) in Emacs, which is qualitatively the same as vim. (It's just as magical.) I always use that instead of C-u because it's easier to type. Ultimately, the magic of Emacs is not in the key bindings; this is why Evil mode is not fundamentally against the Emacs philosophy. The magic is with how the editor feels just like an extension of the underlying elisp.
