How are they "not that touch-typing-friendly" when they're literally the keys that are always under your fingers when touch typing?

    Idk, I get what you mean but I'd personally rather not use my pinky finger for navigation, sounds really uncomfortable.

      hjkl AND the cursor keys equally suck for moving the cursor because they only move by one line or by one character.

      jjjllllljjh is just as bad as <Down><Down><Down><Right><Right><Right><Right><Right><Down><Down><Left>. There are much better ways to move around and touch-typists and non-touch-typists would be better off learning them instead of obsessing over hjkl: :help motion.txt.
