dw deletes to the start of the next word, while diw deletes the word
but leaves any space beyond it intact. In most cases I find I want to
remove a word completely, including pulling the next word over to the
cursor, so dw is better for me. Starting from the middle of a word,
it's a choice of bdw or diwdw.
