As if that doesn't require you to remember things. In the end I always, without fail, see people consistently struggle with doing things in Vim that take a single shortcut (or an action lookup) in an IDE. Even people who've been working in Vim for years.
Because it's a nice little story about "oh, it's so easy to yank a word" because it's always easy to come up with the most trivial examples.
And this narrative about verbs and nouns falls apart even for trivial examples. E.g. the simple act of going to end of line, end of file, beginning of file are three different shortcuts that have little to no relation to each other. No worries, you just have to memorize them. Don't forget variations on shortcuts like yy and Y. And many other idiosyncrasies that don't fall neatly into the verb-noun narrative.
> Vim isn't discoverable, you cannot learn to use it without reading
Funny how the very same people who say this are hell bent on never learning IDEs.
> You can get LSP in vim/emacs
Yes, you can. There's a reason LSP never came out of emacs/vim world.
> When you later learn that '$'
> when you learn that y
