Honest question, what is it that you hate about modal editing?
I tried Helix and Kakoune too. They all have the same problems.
First. It adds friction. Every damn time I need to write, I forget to enter insert mode. You have no idea how many times I ended up with a strange buffer. Hopefully there is undo. But it gets boring fast. I need to write as soon I enter the editor. I don't need to move the cursor to read the text that visible on the current page.
Second, how the hell I'm supposed to make small movements when I'm in insert mode, with the arrow keys? Like move cursor to the left by 3 chars. Do I enter normal mode, press l 3 times. Or delete the whole word and rewrite it?
Third. Why some movements are symbols? Like, line ending is $. Beginning of line is 0. so much so for home row movements.
Fourth. Could never remember if f or t includes the char I'm looking for.
Fifth. How cumbersome is to press ESC on the top left corner every damn time. Yes, there exists Ctrl+[. But still. So much so - again - homerow movement.
Not directly related to modal editing.
Sixth. I could not make copy/paste work reliably in remote a linux server from a Windows machine via SSH. Hell, I could not make it work with WSL2.
Sevent. Debuggers sucks. There is no comparison to JetBrains Debugger GUI. Not even VSCode come close to it.
Sorry for the rant.

Here you go again. Software engineers don't understand UX/UI, Sales, Customers, Networking, Technical Writings, Communication, Business Needs...
Yeah well, since you other people understand everything why don't you start developing your damn software yourselves as you please?

So you're saying we should blame the board, or stockholders, for this terrible design?
It is not scapegoating. It is actually helding people responsible for the huge compensation they are getting. If something is successful it is these people who gets the big bonus.
I guess now the trend is Zig. The era of Javascript framework has come to end. After that was AI tend. And now we have Zig and its allocators, especially the arena allocator.

I really don't get how people do research work (like finding good flight tickets, or comparing hotels to stay in for a trip) without a computer.
For a lot of people, time is more valuable than money.
They get on their phone and complete a task and move on.
Spending an hour comparing a dozen tabs on a computer to save $30 on a flight is less important than spending that time with their loved ones.
Yes exactly this. My time is more valuable than the research and headache.
I would understand if you saved $500 or more. If you are frequent flyer, that would add up.
