At some point, esoteric UIs may have been needed in the 70s, but that ship has long sailed. I don't need to give myself carpal tunnel syndrome trying to quit vim. If anything, a lot of that is also a problem that continues to plague software to this day: devs who go "well if it works for me, it's good enough for anybody, and if you don't like it, you must not be a Real Developer!"
