I tried Kakoune for a few days a while ago. Mostly I was in a position where I stumbled a lot from things not lining up exactly with Vim, but I also didn't see what advantages I'd get from switching over. Can someone who has used both Vim and Kakoune describe why you might choose to switch?

In my case, I was always in visual mode. The mental gymnastics required to figure out what motion comprehends the text I'm interested in was too distracting otherwise. So when I tried kak, it was easy to pick it up -- like visual mode, but always on. And with what I found to be a very consistent set of keybindings.
