> Vim users seem often quite happy with the vim emulation they get

Not at all. Never seen any vi-emulation, which wasn't totally broken.

Fails "car wash" test miserably. Ask it:

> I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?

To be honest, all I see is https://xkcd.com/927/

All config formats are bad. You either don't need all the features at all, except key:value. Or you quickly run into weird limitations and quirks.

What I rather like instead, are custom build english-like DSL's, like:
