If the title alone does not put you off, it should be a warning,
and the author warns it is not a tutorial, it is one way to learn
how to customize vim, and I would add, should be done in a sandbox:
a separate account from your working account, and only after reading
the whole article from start to finish before trying anything,
as the impact of the changes is nowhere clearly explained, just what
the immediate effect is and whay that is considered desirable by the
author.

Send the email to the author of the article Steve Losh, and
suggest his article could be improved by discussing the impact
of his changes, and not just the immediate effect; I suspect
the author of vim and its scripting language Bram Moolenaar
would be unlikely to suggest remapping <esc>!
