Up front though in every other thing I’ve read is that this is going to be hard, so that doesn’t seem like a fair argument either. I don’t tell people that the VI text editor is easy to learn or even that it’s even superior to anything at all, only that’s worked for me and that I hope everyone finds something that works for them. It’s not like we need any more barriers to helping people code and write, yet they all take a set of complex practicing to be proficient given we aren’t wired by genetics or anything do such complex activities such as language and walking upright.

Bad analogy in my opinion. Learning basic vim can be done in a couple of hours and I think would benefit literally every programmer to know the basics because it is so much nicer to even navigate a single line of code using the vi keys (w, b, f, % etc) than any other alternative I've heard of.
