I use many keyboard shortcuts, but I prefer natural usage, such as arrow keys for one symbol / line navigation and PgUp / PgDn for page navigation. The home row issue doesn't really bother me. Heavy focus on home row that forces such kind of shortcuts seems a bit extreme for me personally.

I take issue with the wording "natural usage", as there is nothing that is "natural" about keyboards.

At least not in the sense that someone would "naturally" rather grab things with their hands rather than their feet.

This is why to me neither ctrl-f nor PgDn are natural, and anyone can choose one or the other. Ultimately they were both created by someone who saw the need to have a shortcut to move one entire page down.

I wasn't aware people were being forced to be mechanically efficient. It's an option. You're free to drive your mouse all day if you like; in fact, you could mouse select, right click copy, mouse click the cursor to a new spot, right click paste, and be totally free of the burden of the home row.

"The right vim way" proponents can be very opinionated about it, and view those who don't follow same approach with a bit of conceit. I'm not saying that always happens, but I've encountered such views. Not sure why this affects specifically vim and not other editors.
