This is the only downside I've found to using vi/vim full time. Wanting and expecting the keybindings everywhere, even in things like html text areas.

If you happen to still use Firefox, there's an extension It's All Text that allows you to use an external editor like vim for textarea input. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/its-all-text/
There are somewhat similar extensions for Chrome to get the same effect, but requires a more elaborate setup to get around the sandboxing used by Chrome. http://superuser.com/questions/261689/its-all-text-for-chrom...
Yeah I've got Vimium, so that is pretty nice, but I still get confused a little bit when it doesn't work as I expect. Vim has ruined my mind.
That was the dealbreaker for me with vim too. Otherwise a very nice editor, but none of the many other text-entry devices I have deal with are modal and I'm not interested in trying to shoehorn a plugin into everything.
