This is why many layouts, workman included, make compromises.
After years of using vim, I learned workman. On top of my qwerty muscle memory, I have qwerty-vim muscle memory to unlearn.
I've gone back and forth, but I've generally given up on using vim. It's missing a feature that to me is a deal breaker: 100% configurable keybinds.
I've been looking into creating my own from-scratch modal keybinds for emacs. I would love something with the features of evil-mode where the user creates their own normal-mode.
Even if a user is using a traditional keyboard with qwerty, it still sucks to be stuck with hardcoded keyboard shortcuts. It would be extremely helpful if configurability were considered a necessity in UI/UX design.
