> I cannot fathom how people blindly accept that their editing movement operations are inconsistent. That can be a problem if you have to jump from platform to platform or work with IDE's that implement things in vastly different ways. I jump between Windows and Mac all the time and for the longest time the Mac keyboard was infuriating. My solution was to re-map it to match, as much as possible, what I was used to. That may very well be the case with vim advocates. To be clear, this isn't about one or the other approach being better by any measure of the work. It's simply that one tends to prefer that which is familiar. That's just the way every person is wired. I've seen this across disciplines that have nothing whatsoever to do with programming. Resistance to change is a strong force. We tend to want to stay with what we know and reject change at a visceral level. And that's OK. Your point are probably valid. I'll take the time to explore over the weekend. Thanks for taking the time to share your insights.
