Haha, that's fair. But also, is this the case in 99% of "modal" text editors? Because that's why these things are the way they are in vim.

There's nothing different about the modality of operation of a Tesla. You could switch the touchscreen to a physical console and not lose anything, but modality is central to how vim operates, and becomes more valuable as you get used to it and need it more.
