If there are N characters in your file, then the insertion point can be placed at N + 1 positions: in-between two adjacent characters, or before the first character, or after the last character. And this makes sense: anything you type is inserted at the insertion point. All rational text editors (and word processors) work this way.

And one of those has the interesting side effect where, if you exit insertion mode without inserting anything, it doesn’t put you back in the same position as before. Why?

I personally love vim.  But its clearly an acquired taste.  When you
get good at it its pretty amazing -- and no mouse.  The other thing
about vim is that it is on every linux system, so you don't have to
load your editor if you are ssh-ing to some machine
