I'm one of those people, I get why it's great in theory but in practice every thing about it puts me off, the commands all feel weird (again I understand why - I'm aware of the history), the documentation is lack luster in places, the whole thing just feels off. I'm the same with vim (and against I get why people love it). Most all of my programming is done in an IDE and when I just want an editor (markdown usually) I tend to use vscode (I use it when I have a lot of frontend stuff to do as well, it's TS mode is better than Intellij's).

I feel almost the same, although after trying to force vim on myself for a week I found that I missed the basic motion commands (moving across words and lines, deleting words and lines, etc.). It does feel faster to not have to move my right hand to somewhere else to move around in my code. Fortunately just about every modern IDE and editor has some kind of vim emulation so I can get the best of both worlds!
