Compared to me the author feels like a power user of emacs (or was one) and is making broad arguments against the existence of people like me: not power users.
I've never run into these issues they talk about and I don't really know elisp.
Mostly, over vim, I just like chord editors more than modal editors. If a more modern terminal-based chord editor came out I'd try it.
Can nano or pico do it? Can vim do it out of the box? For that matter, how does VSCode stand up to "very large" CSV files? I really don't know but I suspect this is less of an Emacs "problem" than it is a matter of fact for most editors that aren't specialized to the specific task of "very large" CSV files.
