One time, I paired with a guy that used `R` all the time.

It was an eye-opener for me, too. I use `R` a little more often ever since then, but -- like a lot of others here -- my mental model defaulted to more of a `cw` approach.

Maybe there's just two types of vim users. This could be the latest new Silicon Valley personality test.

I'm mostly an emacs user, but when I vi(m) I use 'R' all the time, pressing escape when I've finished changing stuff.
