All builtin vim operations should be named for 2 reasons:
1. if you map a key, then the original command binding is unavailable:
example: :map [ 0 ..
Now how do I call [c in diff mode; [c doesn't have a name.
2. scripts become un-maintainable and unreadable to others:
simple example. ".....exe normal vip ......"
:h vip
Vim help doesn't know what vip is is,
only google can help you here.
This is just an example, but many operations cannot be found in vim help
unless you already know about it. That is why vim-tips is such a
useful site,
and emacs-tips site is unnecessary - because every command is named and
can be grepped for.
