I keep hearing about how modal editing is faster

Please, do yourself a favor and ignore that noise. It is more a question of like/dislike and training. Personal sidenote: I daily alternate between PhpStorm and Neovim. Can't say doing things in either is faster/slower to any significant degree (PhpStorm is mostly there for the things I have not yet configered properly in Neovim, like looking through git history)

and I would like to switch to a more performant editor

This should be looked at and tested objectively: is it working with big files that is the problem? Or navigating the code base? Or something else? Maybe it is better to tweak vscode instead?

Disclaimer: when I say "bullshit", I do not mean "you are brainless fool", I only mean "this idea is so ridiculously wrong it is time we put it to rest at last"

No command lines ever for anything

This annoys me so much I literally registered to answer: bullshit. Stop with that strawman, will ya all, Linux enthusiasts

easy troubleshooting even your nan can follow

Same level bullshit. Watch win (and mac?) being hell to debug

every Linux user agrees it is the best Linux distribution

Bullshit. See Win XP times with many custom-made "flavours". That did nothing to make windows less popular

when there is a single distribution

Bullshit number one. Linux will become major thing as a result of people pushing back against corporate wall-gardening and spying and/or when it starts coming pre-installed (see Android phones for the latter). All the scary-command-line whining is just elitist bullshit
