Unless you type a lot of graph algorithms notes (and have to write "Dijkstra"), you rarely encounter the key sequence jk. It makes it easier to work with vim and never move to hit the Esc key.


That or you're writing in Dutch. Neither of ij, jk or even kj work in Dutch, because they are very common.


That's a very fair point! I hadn't considered this at all, I mostly write in English, and subconsciously assumed this would be true of most Vim users.
