I think you are not used to ‘modal’ editing in Vi. How does the world use it? With atomic edits, which means living in NORMAL mode and only entering INSERT mode when you need it.
Your undo history works like a commit history and you can undo by action: inserted text, changed text inside brackets, deleted 6 lines, etc.
If you get used to this, you’ll never go back (even in Emacs, Evil user here hehe).
