>Those editors also let you use shortcuts without having to switch through different modes making you more efficient.

The modes are what makes editing in Vim efficient.. you don't think Vim users are out here swapping through modes looking for the one that lets them paste a line do you?

[charcircuit]

Yes. Instead of just control + v they have to switch out of insert mode and into normal mode, then do a command to paste their clipboard, then have to do a command to go back to insert mode. It's overcomplicated.

They just press ctrl+alt+v in insert mode or if they are in normal mode they will press p.

[charcircuit]

See. There is to point to have normal mode if you can just do it in insert mode.

You do not seem to have a grasp on Vim which qualifies you to assert that it is overcomplicated.

[charcircuit]

I do have a grasp on Vim. Even if I didn't the fact you used the term grasp shows that it is overcomplicated. A text editor should have such good ui that one instantly grasps it.
