I feel the same and I experience less pressure when writing because for the first time it seems being a bit sloppy can be advantageous.

The only thing is that my anecdata contradicts it. My AI cleaned up writing seems to fare much better and this seems to be true across all channels. To be clear I do not mean AI generated just AI cleaned, that is spelling, punctuation, grammar mainly, the occasional word order change.

In the end it's about getting the message across first and "get to know me" second and proper and clear expression helps a lot with the first.

I don't remember "absolute" but I sure do remember "gotoxy" and it rhymes with boxy, yeah, you won't convince me otherwise.

Not my experience. Current Qwen Coder is noteworthy but still far from good. Can't compare them with current commercial offerings, it is just different leagues.

"However, I have vim muscle memory built over 25 years of use."

Me too and it took a view attempts but I'm on Helix now and don't regret it. Once you are over the most prominent discrepancies like dd and G it's an uphill battle.
