Most developers I know now know enough vim to use it in a pinch for editing on remote servers. What I'd really like to see to handle even this edge case is a browser implementation of Sublime. Now that would be cool.
One of the more underrated features of Sublime Text is the Command Palette. Just by pressing ctrl+shift+p, you can access almost any command, without having to memorize some arcane shortcut key. It is an incredibly powerful feature - one that I really wished Vim had.
BTW, the Ubuntu HUD does the same for any set of menus in a compatible application.
Hit Alt key, access all the menu commands.
The only major upside is that Sublime Text might have a 3rd party step in and fix its broken vi handling (someone started to do this with VintageEx).
