@narf I switched 2 years ago and I'm still pretty happy. Saved me a lot of config churn to keep up with the neovim ecosystem. Its far less extendable and configurable, but so far I agree with most of the design decisions, so I'm fine with that.

@narf over 20 years of vi and then vim. I’m a vim expert and have given talks on it. I am now 100% on Helix. No looking back.
