b - move cursor back

etc.
I would not argue vim is intuitive as a whole. However, there are certain parts of vim that are extremely intuitive.
d: delete
c: change
y: yank (copy)
v: visually select (V for line vs. character)
It's also why I added the -ish to my comment (editors can be very polarising), but I feel many of vim's basic editing features are very intuitive
Edit: https://danielmiessler.com/study/vim/ It's where I learned the command meanings and started to understand vim in a more intuitive manner
:10d - to delete line 10
d99d - to delete next 99 lines
:10,99d - to delete lines between 10 and 99
:-4,.d - delete from 4 lines above to current line
this also works with other commands
