What's wrong with "modal"? I don't think "modeful" is a word.

See

(specifically the sidebar “How Modes Degrade Usability”) There’s also a sidebar “Objections to Modeless Editing and Cut/Copy-Paste”

My point was just that "modeful" isn't a word. Vim is a "modal editor." The article you cite does not include the word "modeful."
