I've been trying my hand at mnemonics, with some pretty funny results, as well as some unintentionally good ones, like "warp" for full-screen ace-jumping.

I am also experimenting with a more minimal "mnemonic" mapping whose primary goal is to keep vim's default mnemonics intact. You can try those by instead (require 'lalopmak-evil-mnemonic).
However, the comparatively awkward positions are getting to me:
Change is at such a weird key for something I use all the time
You can't easily navigate forward or backward word with the awkward w/b
Combining those, a very common pattern for me is change-[forward/backward word], which is awkward with c-w while terrible with c-b.
There seems to be no one-fingered way to browse large vertical distances.
Deprovement of several "shift letters" relative to colemak-evil-like style. v is very commonly shifted, and an awkward reach compared to colemak-evil's a. Ditto for undo (z vs u), though admittedly the use of redo for shift there is arbitrary. In the case of my particular layout, r/s (insert/append) also benefit a little from this (relative to default and colemak-evil, respectively).
And that's not even getting into the colemak-specific issues (redundant replace/substitute right next to each other, endword taking up prime real estate while the arrow keys are displaced - I got rid of endword to move some back). All in all, I'm not convinced it's worth it.
