I don't have any answers.
I've got an Emacs plugin installed that's kinda like easy-motion, and actually have started to use that.. but I think I'll be sticking to eg. `hhjjjj` for the rest of my life.
I write a lot of Lisp, so I wonder of learning more structural editing commands (eg. something like `jump-to-sibling-sexp`) could help me map my intents more cleanly, but wouldnt be able to carry that into other languages and expect I'd fall right back into my old ways.
Maybe it just isn't so bad. When your findger is on a key, there's a lot of value in not moving at all. Counting is taxing and lacks feedback, which is why I hate resizing terminal panes. Maybe there's more power in learning and integrating new habits, like easy-motion or search-forward (even for short distances), than in eliminating old ones.
As an aside, the most jarring thing about going back to Vim from Emacs (which I do multiple times a day) is not having nornal-mode & co. in the mini-buffer / command-line. Love how emacs treats it as just another buffer, so even eg. visual-mode works in there.
