I know precisely what you mean. I've seen a few posts from people about how they finally transitioned away from Vim (or C++, or ...) after many months and then detail a long list of its flaws, all of which showcasing that they did not try to actually learn Vim, but rather try to work around it being Vim. It's a bit different from other tools and if it's not your cup of tea that's perfectly understandable. But why would you torture yourself like that if you're not willing to give it a fair chance? Edit: there are of course also those who do give it a shot, do learn the Vim way™, and then conclude it's not for them. That's great, I have no problem with that.
