Are you an Emacs user? My journey was Google Reader -> Newsblur -> elfeed (on Emacs). I only abandoned Newsblur because of an ongoing project to Emacsify my digital life.

Have you heard of Evil?

https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil

IMO - and I speak as someone who loves Emacs so much he has email, organisation, TODOs, calendaring, IRC, RSS and more in Emacs - vi actually does a better job of the mechanics of text editing.

Evil gives you the best of both worlds - the Emacs platform, and vi editing.
