Convenience is often a tradeoff for power. Nobody is claiming that vi and its derivatives are convenient, they're saying it's powerful.

Personally I'm much much faster using neovim than I could be using something like vscode. There's a myriad of other benefits that modal text editing brings to the table, not having to use a mouse and constantly switch back and forth being a big one for me.

I find it much more convenient to press a button that's already under my thumb and then press a button that's already under my middle finger (for example) to get a symbol I want than move my hands from their typing position to get a symbol.
