Generally in agreement with the article. This bit was confusing to me, though. > Moving with the arrow keys, erasing text by holding backspace for an eternity feels slow, but it is predictable and reliable. Vim or Emacs-style editing, where you fly through the buffer with keybindings, feels faster, but a single wrong keypress puts your editor in some unpredictable state it can be hard to recover from. I've been using neovim for about a year now. I don't think I've ever entered a state from a mis-click that is hard to recover from yet. The worst case scenarios tend to result in something taking comparable time to if a mouse was used.
