*Really*? I feel just the opposite, that allowing arrowing when still in insert was more annoying than not, because you *could* successfully arrow around to a different position on the screen, then start typing "wwwdw" or something, and end up with "wwwwdw" in the text itself, instead of popping over 3 words and deleting the errant word. I keep forgetting to turn that off in the '.vimrc', so mentally have to make a note to keep banging the <esc> key at regular intervals. :D
