    I have been using Helix for quite a few months now and love it. It takes a bit to get used to if you know vim as while it is a modal editor it uses similar but different keybindings. Most notably it is selection>action rather than vims action>movement.

    But it also requires no configuration to make it as powerful as any IDE which IMO makes it worth while to learn. No more spending hours finding plugins and configuring things to a basic level.

    One downside though is it has no plugin support yet. So if it is missing something you need that can be a deal breaker. But it also includes the same features as what most people use plugins for in vim so I have never really needed any. and support for plugins is being worked on, so eventually this problem will be solved.
