This really isn’t my experience. Once you’ve practiced something enough that it becomes a habit, the latency is significantly lower.
How much experience do you have with measuring the latency of things to know what takes 400ms and what takes 700ms?
Anecdotally, I’ve pretty consistently seen people who’re used to vim accomplish text editing tasks much faster than people who aren’t, unless the latter is an expert in keyboard shortcuts of another editor such as emacs.
Even if total time for the task is reduced the latency for starting the task might still be higher.
