That's actually not true at all. Lots of terminal programs have keybindings for stuff like hjkl. Even tig does. And if you're using git from the command line and haven't heard of tig, you need to look it up.

Even many roguelike games support vim keybindings for movement. Brogue is an example.

In fact, most shells (e.g. bash and zsh) have the option to switch from Emacs to vi mode.

Also, this will turn on vi-style line editing in programs using GNU readline (things like mysql, psql, sqlite3):

    echo "set editing-mode vi" > ~/.inputrc

For programs linked against libedit instead (as on OS X):

    echo "bind -v" > ~/.editrc
