I fully agree. Yet I still learned the vi input model because pretty much every text editor on every platform supports it one way or another, and a cross-editor / cross-platform input model makes it a no-brainer to switch editors (which I do all the time, e.g. using vim for quick edits on the command line, and a 'proper' IDE for coding, where the IDE also changes (VStudio, Xcode, VSCode) depending on platform or task at hand. And while typing speed doesn't matter much for productivity, "muscle memory" does for "staying in the flow".
