    The use cases are not necessarily the same for line
    mode as for cursor mode.
    
    It is probably better, if possible, to be consistent
    between the ”verb before object” modal editors, which it
    is for line mode, as far as I can see. I use vi or nvi
    for sysop things, vis (vise in OpenBSD) for programming
    and vim or nvim(neovim) for text editing (since i need
    spell checking). 
    
    The ”object before verb” modal editors (kakuone and
    helix) behaves more like your diff for line mode, but
    they are so different anyway so it doesn’t matter.
