In what world are HJKL better than say, HUJK or WASD?

They're just dumb but people have been beaten over the head with them for so long that Stockholm syndrome is SUPER strong, as proven by these comments.

Do you still use a QWERTY keyboard? Or have you just been beaten over the head with them so long that Stockholm syndrome is super strong?

Did you read my original comment? I literally mentioned QWERTY as another example of backwards compatibility screwing everyone over.

I use QWERTY because I have to, I don't like it and I can't do much about it in practice. People frequently defend Vi's HJKL vehemently - just like - if I'm not mistaken - you, presenting it as a superior option for some reason.
