Why Kakoune
Is it worth learning Dvorak? Sure it makes sense on paper, I see the rationale behind it, but I&#x27;ve already been typing on QWERTY all my life and I&#x27;m pretty fast at it. Kakoune is the same thing for me - the things 
 changed from Vim make sense, but I don&#x27;t see it as good enough to offset the facts that:<p>1. Vim is muscle memory for a lot of us. Something that is so similar but not quite the same just fucks with my brain. I have an easier time using stock Emacs bindings than Kakoune, as my brain is not in Vim mode while using it.<p>2. VS Code, Fat Visual Studio, IntelliJ, Emacs, most IDEs&#x2F;text editors, fuck even Compiler Explorer have Vim plugins that range in quality from acceptable to fantastic. You can get a fix for your vim needs even in a disgusting corporate Windows crackhouse environment.<p>3. If you&#x27;re a purist, Vim itself  has a great ecosystem, and can be reasonably used for a lot of tasks.
