I remember for the first two weeks (maybe a month? it was so long ago) learning vim was painful as hell. I had to fight the urge to just stick with non-vim mode typing like in default vscode. Despite that I willed myself to continue using vim because of the plethora of praise it had, and the promised eternal benefits I will be blessed with, so say the evangelists. After that it was a breath of fresh air to be able to type at the speed of thought. I would never dream of going back to non-modal editing again. Now I'm using evil/emacs and couldn't be happier. There's another modal editing that's gaining traction called meow, and maybe other variants that I want to learn. But for now I'll stick with evil/vim-mode.
