Helix is just used friendly vim, honestly. Vim barely has any help and helix is batteries included. Ever since discovering it, vim feels like a downgrade.

It's just way easier to get helix to a usable state for the languages I write in than it is with vim. I don't have to go plugin hunting or vetting random github repos; all the support mostly comes shipped with the editor. Throw some lines in TOML file and you're good, vs downloading a plugin manager, downloading plugins, configuring those plugins and hoping you got everything right and the plugin repo's README isn't 10 years out of date. vim feels like a downgrade. 100%
