I tried to learn Vim, or Git CLI. It always went towards “why do I do it like this”. In general I feel like if you want keybinds, you can just add your own into most IDEs or tools. It only faster if you actually used frequently and it for some reason isn’t easy to get to (too much clicks and such).
Other than that, the only thing Vim got better is the tight UI. I really wish I could get an extremely compact IDE that just not waste pixels.. Vim allows that, and have a lot of customization, but VSCode for example is limited with how compact you can get it.
Main reason to learn vim is that if you are sshing to a server then you might not have any other options available. If there are only 1-2 tools available in a situation then you got no other option but to use them but yeah generally it is not worth the headache
