I'm kind of a broken person, I can't use a web browser without getting distracted if it doesn't have vim bindings. This kind of browser really doesn't lend itself to that.
I don't see how this browser will ever suit me or people like me, which is kind of a problem; how do you expect random non-techhy people to discover this if the techhy people don't move first?
I do like the idea. I find myself wishing I could do a vsplit/split in pentadactyl all the time... So much so that I've considered moving to something like surf with i3. But it's not worth it because none of them are polished enough.
I'd like to see Mozilla really take a stab at integrating pentadactyl-like behavior into their new development browser they're creating. One thing that's really interesting to me is that in recent years (~5ish) we've seen a real split in terms of the browser that developers prefer. I think someone can take that market if they did it well.

I feel like non-techy people would be much easier to convince to try a new browser than techy people, especially ones so deeply entrenched in things like vim bindings. There's just a much smaller change involved going from a normal browser in a stock consumer OS like Windows to this than going from something like using vim bindings to this.
