Yeah but practically all the keystrokes have to do some reaching of Ctrl or so, where i can sit comfortably on home rows.
PS: Tried Ctrl+H, it seems to delete character instead.

I don’t understand what you mean by that. Emacs keystrokes evoke commands, and while not every command is (by default) bound to a keystroke sequence, every command still has a name, and you can always use the name to invoke the command.
There is even a special keystroke prefix--CTRL/H--for all the keystrokes that give you help about keystrokes and commands.

Vim modes trade a little abstraction for simpler and faster use fancy features of text editors, for which on emacs you have to play twister on keyboard.

In Emacs I am always in insert mode. I can insert at any point just by moving to that point. I can insert before the first character in the buffer by moving there. I can insert after the last character in the buffer by moving there.
In vi/vim you need two different insert modes: one which can insert before the first character in the buffer, but cannot insert after the last character, and one which can insert after the last character, but not before the first one. So you need to press three additional keys to get out of one mode and into the other, in addition to those for moving position.
And if one says that he/she just wants to edit text on CLI, like on windows notepad, then these simple minded creatures should just use nano!

I can do it in Emacs (or most other editors) without having to press even one button first.

What about “i”?
Why does vim need two different commands to enter insert mode?
