Because modal editing is really, really fast? And if you edit a lot of code that’s really important? I’ve used vim for ten years. I’ve always found the extensions to vim cludgy after a while. And I’ve happily hopped on to the sublime and vs code bandwagons because of easily extensible editors and nicer UIs. But the first thing I do with this easily extensible editors is look for the vim plugin. Modal editing is the reason people love vim and if you don’t “get it” vim seems like a contraption only a sadist would love.
