although I've used vim for a while now, I still feel like chuckling when I see something like 'gg"* yG:qa!<Cr>' written out, because of how ridiculous it looks to anyone who doesn't use vim.
I know just what you mean, it looks absolutely ridiculous. I occasionally send coworkers very long vim macros just for the enjoyment of explaining how useful some 100-character line of gibberish is.
