Ever since I learned about Vim it was something I wanted to learn but always feared the adjustment period and unwarranted words of caution from internet strangers.
I had learned i3 already and was focusing on keeping my hands on the keyboard for longer. I had a 2 week phase of watching the Primeagon and watching him use Neovim made me feel thoroughly embarrassed about how I wrote code. I already was sold on the logic, so seeing the benefits with my own eyes pushed me over the edge.
I got kickstarter working and after about 3 days of having vscode and neovim open next to each other, I found I was starting to move faster in neovim than vscode.
Now I have the confidence to open vi on a prod server and make changes. This new ability justified my desire to finally go for a programmable keyboard and now it's very rare I touch my mouse at all.
