Every search bar looks like a URL bar to users

Have you ever seen an experienced user demonstrate some use cases? I'm in the same boat as you but that convinced me because some of it was like magic. I don't think the value is in uniqueness of function, right, but the sort of swiftness of expression you can get.

More like having you workbench set up just perfectly, less like having irreplaceable tools. But the start up cost is what keeps me out - learning it, trying to integrate it into other tools that I don't fully understand anyway (VSCode in my case), etc etc.

Only brief glimpses. And I have no doubt it’s amazing in capable hands. My interest in learning vim is likely solely rooted in some vague jealousy of these skills. I keep having to remind myself to be happy with what I have and stop spending what little time I have gazing at greener pastures.
