Yes thats what I mean about consistency.

10dd - delete 10 lines
10cc - change10 lines
10yy - yank(copy) 10 lines

etc...

I rarely use the numbersthough becase the magic feature for me is the range commands.

/fromstr/,/tostring/<cmd>

applies cmd to the range of lines containing fromstr to the next 
line containing tostring

And cmd can be almost any editing command.

similarly you can apply commands to only those lines 
containing a given string.

Also rectangular mode is great for messing with 
comments (almost essential in assembler code!)

etc etc etc....

However I'll stop here because its got little 
to do with python and the vim advocacy pages have 
more than enough of this kind of promo material :-)
Although of course you can get aversion of vim that 
uses python as its macro language! (But actually I 
don't use it)
