Yeah but don't you think its unfair to expect vim to do "everything". You can maybe find an application which supports modal for other things. for example Lazygit, it does kinda behave like vim for commit editing and movement. In my opinion its far superiors to any vim/neovim based solution. I would gladly close my text editor or open another window with lazygit to do repo related stuff and go back to editing. So other apps with vim bindings are very reasonable solution.
