I’m not sure. Command based editing opens more doors than just optimizing keystrokes. There are edits I somewhat regularly do with Vim macros that save me minutes of typing and cognitive burden of examining refactor locations. It’s probably not going to be make or break, but I do think it’s significant in a p > 0.05 sense. I imagine Vim is only just a local optima too. There are newer editors [0] that are more AST aware that I haven’t been able to fairly evaluate yet (not in the boring corp approved software list).
