It sounds like you’re already happy with vim, so why not keep it? Also the micro keybindings are configurable, so not much to see here.

I wasn't complaining about Micro. I wasn't complaining about vim. I was just noting why terminal applications don't generally use those same key bindings historically, and why it still matters today. The only reason we are off in the weeds like this is because of your assertion that it's rare to need to background a terminal editor, which doesn't match my experience at all.
