helix is pretty nice if you’re willing to challenge your traditional vim editing model. vim is action -> selection. helix is selection -> action. Beyond that helix feels like a modern vim. LSP natively supported. DAP as well. Very little configuration and bootstrapping to wade through.
1. it's just nice to see your selection before u do any action.
2. There's not benefit to the new model, either you like it more or like it less, why does everything have to give a benefit? Maybe it's just about the preference.
3. Helix requires less than 50 Lines of TOML to configure, to me this is well worth it, as with neovim, i easily needed like ... 300 Lines of Lua code? Something like this.
