"Text editing speed" is my per peeve in this field.
If your productivity is mostly limited by your typing speed you're either deluded or the greatest 1000x coder in the world.
I spend most of my time thinking and slowly prototyping the issue. It's not like I have the code 100% ready and my mind and just need to type it out as fast as possible and it'll Just Work after that.
And if it's speed of generating code you want, you can use templates in IDEs for it instead of going ":as12#:asd" in vim. Or use Copilot or a similar system to generate the rough outline and finish it up yourself.
