I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

If you feel like it definitely give it another go. Vim (or neovim) is just insanely good once you've developed the muscle memory for the keybinds.
It takes a bit of time and practice but it's actually fairly user friendly once you understand how it works. (c for change, y for yank, p for paste, e for end, b for beginning etc.)
I was a nano person for the longest time, was planning to try out vim but never did, until i saw a coworker using it and he explained a little about the vim "language" actually worked and how much you could do with it
With some encouragement from him and a week or two of reduced productivity i was able to do everything just as fast in vim as in nano, and it only got better from there, now i find any other editor slow and tiresome in comparison
If you want something that is quite a nice editor too but doesn't require hundreds of lines of configuration, try helix. It also has nice help menus so it's fast to learn. I've used vim since the 90's and Emacs for many years, but nowadays I kinda just like hx how it just works with zero configuration for any programming language I need to work with.
