You could say the same about Vim.

I suspect there are workflows and shortcuts heavy SAP users have learned over time that make them highly effective, and they are now resistant to change.



Except vim does not take over your process and data, and is happy to sit there and wait out your tryst with nano, sublime, vs code or frigging notepad.

It's fine to have an inscrutable, beginner-hostile power tool as an option.


Except that instead of getting high powered modal editing actions where editing text behaves like executing code, you're stuck in insert and can only move by arrow keys, one at the time.
