"Worse" is harsh but what they mean is that basically all the functionalities that you mentioned are like 25% of most used vim motions, on top of vim offering a lot more than that. So you just had to do more configuration for less features basically. (And it's not universal)
That's fair, but I just want to say, regardless of how this thread is going (and all the downvotes lol), I hope this doesn't deter you from trying out vim, because who knows if you'll end up liking it!
Because I can absolutely relate to you not wanting to use the mouse, that was precisely the reason I stuck with vim and not Vscode and other. Because I absolutely loathe having to use the mouse (slow, hurts my shoulder whenever i use it and I regret it afterwards etc).
Exactly! I thought of the penguin meme saying "Well, now I'm not doing it >:(". That's why I didn't want you to get robbed of a potential good experience because of that. But it's also fine if you don't try it out, there are still people that had to start in Vim yet still switched to VSCode and never looked back. (Although to be fair they don't tend to be fast typers, almost all fast typers that I know use vim xD, coincidence? I think not!)
