VI in JavaScript
Completely useless but nevertheless awesome : jsvi is an implementation of Vi in Javascript which support several useful features, among those visual lines are really appreciated. I'm not quite sure how this may be used in everyday life, but I'm sure it could be adapted to replace textareas (without filling the whole page), allowing us to use more efficient text inputs than all the cluttered What You Get Is All But What You Want stuff we find nowadays.
One huge drawback : the :emacs command, why is this even implemented ?
A cool addition would be an implementation of auto completion, like the one I developed in Jim.

Actually, the :emacs command is rather strange, I don't understand why it is not the default mode : the :vi mode eats a lot of memory for a very poor result (as in the real life).
One huge drawback : it lacks a full emacs-lisp interpretor. Any js-addict ?
