Agreed. Navigation through a file without using the mouse or arrow keys greatly speeds up misc. edits in a large tree of files.
Other upsides are the ability to delete text without the backspace or delete key, and to perform more complicated operations on a file, such as full regex search-and-replace, macros, and so on.
Really what it boils down to is a powerful text editor that lets you keep your hands on the keyboard at all times- which of course is not appropriate for all tasks, but very useful for many.
