"dis" (delete a sentence) would be amazing for writing prose.

As a matter of fact, almost *all* my usage of the "is" and "as" text objects are used when editing prose. They don't serve much purpose when I'm writing code :)

But text objects are a seriously powerful advantage Vim offers -- I regularly tire in other editors of "move around to the beginning of the text-object, hold down <shift> while I move around to the end of the text-object" when in Vim it would just be a quick text-object manipulation.
