Look, "vim sucks because of 'hjkl'" is trite.
What set of keys you use to scroll up or down is minute in comparison to the other differences between vim and other editors, which is what this thread is about.
49 has a serious credibility gap to cover in the clain that "the left hand is better at pushing up and down buttons because we steer better with it." I've tried finding a source to verify or deny the claim, and I'm 95% sure that it was just made up.
Finally, I'm pretty certain this is a case of "This thing that I don't understand isn't good because X". Learn to use vim. Learn it with the 'hjkl'. Remap your keys to 'esdf'. Find out how wonderful 'esdf' is, and tell the world about it. Then you'll be qualified to have an opinion.
Face it, vim wouldn't have lived as long as it has unless it was a good editor. If you think vim's horrid... well, you must be missing something. I'm not railing against emacs here, am I? The question here is "which one is the best". Saying "This editor that's stood the test of time's horrid because of minute detail" is tangent to the thread and doesn't really suggest a good editor.
