Jason Corso - Vi Input Manager Plugin
"This bundle patches the Cocoa Text System to add a Vi-like command mode. After entering command-mode (typically, by hitting escape in Vi), ordinary Vi commands can be typed and the text field will be updated accordingly. Essentially, this add Vi command functionality (albeit a small subset) to any (and all) text editors that use the Cocoa text system; e.g., Safari, TeXShop, XCode, etc. Note, however, this does not work for other programs that do not use the Cocoa system."

One more, and it's a trend. (I won't be joining the Ubuntu switchers - I've used it in the past and it's, well, you know, okay-ish, but stuff like not connecting to the interweb after two hours of trying is kind of offputting.)
