I feel you, I feel the same. I just like modal editing too much. Even though I have to remap CapsLock to Escape to make that usable.

I feel naked without those commands at my fingertips. It's not even about speed, without it it's like... it's like woodworking with a table knife

If I were to take up modal editing now, I'd go for Helix. It's a better editing paradigm (Kakoune inspired) and it aims at just working out of the box.

I finally opted for Lunarvim but I believe all those Neovim distributions are great
