> I don't get how people who like modal editing can't accept that other people don't. Hi. I like modal editing and kind of can't accept that other people don't. I think they just haven't really tried, you know? In my view, it isn't a subjective matter of preference, rather I consider modal editing to be objectively superior: we have the whole keyboard at our disposal to enter commands and manipulate the text, not just tricky key combinations. Sometimes the objection to modal editing is that you need to keep an eye on which mode you're in, but in my experience. If you're doing it right, you're always in normal mode, unless inserting text. When you finish inserting text, you immediately switch to normal mode. There, I probably haven't convinced you nor anyone else, but I'm sure all the vim users are nodding along ;)
