Why do you love the way you do it? You're used to it. vim users don't have a cognitive load because 99% of them learned vim at the same time as learning programming. Is it worth it in 2023 to learn if you're used to a standard input method? Probably not, the majority of complexity in most people's job takes place in the mind and saving even a hour a day is likely not worth it - consider that even if there is no added cognitive load with vim, the fact that you can input faster means you're moving faster which can be exhausting. I for one, like the menial aspect of typing as a way of taking a break from everything.
