    I find it amazing that I always seem to learn just another shortcut- there's so many!

    Yeah, my experience with bindings has been very mixed. I will say, VsVim bindings work extremely well, but that has been the best I've experienced and some other IDEs are just super laggy like you've said.

      I've only tried vim bindings in VS code so that may be why my opinion is as it is. The work I do tends to not be limited by not using a full ide. Mostly running grep -re <string> in a directory to find references is just as fast as an ide search. I find switching to a mouse often while editing just so frustrating.

        Ah, that makes sense. I didn't like the extension in VS code as much. I have pretty bad carpal tunnel so I also avoid switching to a mouse as much as possible; it's great vim keybindings make this a lot easier.
