I've gotten this feedback from other folks as well. I just can't seem to strike a balance between "what do I do now" and "this is too much training".

> You mentioned “it’s like driving a new car” in another thread; I tried Rune in an earlier incarnation, and it was more drastic than a new car. I’m a vim user, and so enabled the Vim option in onboarding - that was a big mistake, because I literally could not do anything without using vim motions. I felt like a helpless noob on my first unix, how-do-I-exit-this-dam-text-editor.

I'm almost tempted to take this as a compliment. I personally hated every other editor's "vim mode". I wanted Rune to be more than a regular editor with vim mode. fwiw you can turn-off vim mode in the terminal (and iirc, console and agent as well) and keep it in the editor.

In one dimension, I'd also consider a compliment! "Purist" approach. However, given you are marketing Rune now, ... ... <--- insert unsolicited advice here lol

Good luck, I mean it.
