I ultimately did the same. I doubt anyone else will ever use it, but it was fun to create and it suits me (almost) perfectly. There's something comfortable about knowing every detail of the environment I spend most of my day using; it has every feature I use regularly and none of the ones I don't.

Interesting that you are also a Dvorak user. I originally learned to type on a Dvorak keyboard, and have only ever been able to hunt-and-peck on QWERTY. I imagine that vim's interface might seem like less of an incomprehensible, memory-dependent maze if one's fingers were accustomed to QWERTY. I tried to learn it once, with a little cheat sheet taped to my monitor, but I've never been any good at rote memorization, so I didn't really get anywhere with it and went back to nano.
