Exactly. Just another blog post by someone who doesn't understand why. Not everything can be web 2.0'd, bubbly and made into an iPhone app.

Replace "can" with "should", and I'll happily agree with you.

I'm a vim fan, personally. The keyboard is ideal for high-speed, high-skill interaction. Most GUI-centric applications fail completely in this area, where a lot of old applications had a lot of focus on it. Both is probably the best, but that's hard work and doesn't always fit with the GUI without it being cluttered for a "clean" interface.
