do at the moment? I think the text object system was meant to be pretty open ended, so you could basically jump to any point in the document, from any other arbitrary point. Like "the second line down from the cursor" or "the fifth character from the start of the fifth line above the cursor". That sort of thing. The cursor is just one of the positions that can be used as the starting point for a movement. Does that answer your question?
dw
deletes from the cursor to the start of the next word. I was just thinking out loud. A text object at the moment represents a mapping from a buffer to a particular character, and I've been playing around with changing it so that it represents a mapping from a buffer to a range of characters like in vim.

asciidoc
. After using for a few days and after spending still more days reading about it and its competitors, I fell in love with it. The only one I didn't look was org-mode
. And people use it more because Emacs support than syntax I guess.
