This sucks and it’s the same as EasyMotion from 10 years ago.

Vim is imperative editing. You have to tell the computer how to edit by glueing together small nasty commands. It gives you “Vim problems.” The mouse is arguably a declarative solution. “I declare I want to edit here.” So much nicer and more efficient.

You could’ve written this comment without the first paragraph. Someone put time and effort into this plugin.

What? “Delete a word” is much more declarative than “delete whatever I just dragged over”.
