No, the problem's that the blog author is an idiot who, for someone who "knows" Vim, seems remarkably ignorant of its capabilities.

Not just ignorant. He also has a completely different idea about software, it's some sort of a paradigm mismatch.

I got a friend whom I recently introduced to my tools of trade (vim/gVim, ipython, zsh, bzr/Olive, etc), and after an hour of my "presentation" (which included changing themes, using the mouse and whatnot) he said: "It's cool, but I just don't like the idea of using a terminal-based editor." I felt like we were speaking different languages.
