The fact that vim allows composing commands make vim ‘feel’ consistent (and which is a good thing) because vim doesn’t have to rely on ad-hoc conventions.
Vim changes the convention to the ‘text object’ concept, which reduces the number of keybindings and make different keys have no (or little) relationship between each other, which means the key don’t have to satisfy a certain condition to feel ‘consistent’.
I’m actually using [composable.el](https://github.com/paldepind/composable.el) currently, and also found [objed](https://github.com/clemera/objed) while surfing the web yesterday.
Would it be hard to have composable bindings as an emacs default keybinding scheme?
