Not if you learn to use the right shortcuts for it (ctrl+arrows, mostly).

I know the shortcuts. (It’s not ctrl-arrows; ctrl-arrows is to switch Space.)

There are still situations where it’s annoying, mostly when navigating the code using the arrow, moving from one location to another using the arrows, I won’t add a key modifier right in the middle of moving the cursor, it just doesn't make sense.

Switch space? On any Windows OS ctrl-arrows (left and right) move the cursor by word. I don't exactly understand how people work with code or even do text editing without it.

		I’m on macOS and it’s alt-space. Ctrl-space moves the cursor by “words inside words,” e.g. in theBestVariable, will go between “the” and “Best.” However it conflicts with the system ctrl-space that switch space. Not really an issue, because ctrl-shift-arrow will do the same word inside word move, but extending selection. In the end we can select until the desired location is reached, then hit a single left or right arrow to deselect and we’re there.

You are pushing a lot of complexity to the editor here. Whereas with tabs you can uninstall a lot of garbage and link your keyboard directly with the binary representation of your code.
