You're not wrong, the constant focus on "productivity" can be off putting. For me, it's not about productivity. It's about how less frustrating the process is.

You're not wrong, the constant focus on "productivity" can be off putting. For me, it's not about productivity. It's about how less frustrating the process is. You don't realize the base level of stress you have in your day to day life as a result of the unergonomic UX of your tools until you try something different. I wanted to learn vim like operation as a sort of academic experience, and now my computer just does what my mind wants it to do, very little friction. The hard part is convincing yourself to learn to do something a different way. Don't worry yourself with the productivity sales pitch, just do it out of curiosity and I'm almost certain, when you're done, you'll like it a lot better.
