I’d like actual examples instead of “I work faster”, something like “I can move straight to the middle of the file with 7mv” or “I can keep 4 different text snippets in memory and paste each with a number+pt, like 2pt”, things that you actually use somewhat frequently instead of what you can do, but probably only did once.

    I’m probably the minority here, but I don’t use neovim for (time) efficiency. I use it for customization, hence minimalism, interoperability with other tools and less complex key bindings.

    I do realize the irony of the last point. Sure, you need to learn basic navigation first, but past that the wizardry is much easier to learn than in other editors/IDEs. I do however not believe that wizardry is impossible in other editors/IDEs, at least most of the usual stuff.
