Maybe you should try committing longer? I had used Vim for nearly 8 years and had learned the crazy tricks you can do with Vim before switching to Kakoune and it took maybe 2 weeks to feel comfortable. I think people may overestimate how long it takes to relearn a style of modal editing which keeps them from committing to Kakoune/Helix which then prevents them from giving Kakoune/Helix a fair chance. After having learned this new style of modal editing, I'm really glad Helix doesn't have Vim style because I feel it be inferior to what Helix has.

I agree about committing longer. It took me a long time of switching back n forth with vscode and vim to fully convert over.

My only problem is personal productivity speed. My whole setup and automation workflow is built around nitpicked or hand-built tools, I'm not Primeagen fast but nearly there. With a full time job, side project/startup I'm really passionate about and family/kids, every seconds matters.
