sure, but that's the same argument against any form of incompatible change.
it was used against the fish shell for example. yet eventually it started getting acceptance. the same may happen with kakoune. i tried using it myself. i wasn't so much bothered by the changes. i had different issues. i got burned by kakoune overwriting a file without warning me. vim would not have done that. and i couldn't get over the fact that kak means shit in some languages. it will take some more effort to overcome that and give it another try.
