If I use VI or VIM I'm going to have to kill the task because I just tried to exit and uggggghhhh why!?
:q! or :exit or :quit or ZZ...there's lots of ways to quit Vim.
None of which are the same methods used by other programs.
and why should it be? vim and its bindings are extremely popular. should window managers all use alt+f4 to kill programs, just because its familiar to new users?
Yes.
Should word processors all use Ctrl-C to copy?
There’s really no point in criticizing something like vim. It has a history and a following, and no one is forcing you to use it. (Unless someone is, in which case you should be annoyed with them, not vim.)
