Generally when people advocate using hjkl, they're doing so:

A: for use within vim (where "i" has another meaning already), or

B: for people who have a long history using vim and are already used to the hjkl paradigm, or

C: (most often) both.

I'm really not sure why you would get tired of this "obsession." No one is telling you to use hjkl unless you're using vim.

It's annoying when you spot this kind of thing about 6 times a year. FWIW today I also spotted a story about how you shouldn't be using hjkl.

Hey, we're hackers. We only have strong opinions.
