I NEVER use count, because my mental flow is drastically hindered by pausing for any form of counting in midst of editing; I stay off relative numbers even. In their place, I enable a vast number of text objects instead, quite a few implemented through the `kana/textobj-user plugin`. Good text object serve as a better embodiment of intent and thus map better mentally than any method using brute counting. It does come at the loss of some precision and speed, but it's a small sacrifice for QOL.
