I don’t know I edit a lot but I also really like vim motion. It gets really natural at some point. The mix of b and e to move around, using cw or ce to remove and start editing then getting back to moving around. Plus a lot of edit actually happens straight from normal mode (case correction, one character changes, short deletion).

You don’t really think about the modes because things flow naturally. It might also be due to the fact that I nearly never actually switch conscientiously into a mode. I always do actions which send me in insert (like c and o, very rarely I or A) and revert back to normal when done.

Plus vim has the advantage of making things like just remove everything between these symbols and set me in edit there very easy which is something I miss when I don’t have vim bindings.
