Input is not the bottleneck. I don't have a good reason why, but I love editing text with Vim.

I enjoy learning complex tools. Maybe that's why. I am also a JS developer, I guess it all makes sense now.

To me it's not about input being the bottleneck, but about Vim having a modular grammar, such that my brain can stay in "problem space" instead of "how do I edit the file space".

It allows me to have a deeper level of focus.

Vim isn’t just about optimizing input. I would say it’s for optimizing navigation and editing patterns.
