    Sell me on Helix real quick. I’ve heard about it and it looks interesting but I’m not sure what the hook is.

      I came from vscode and nano. I wanted something within the terminal as powerful as vscode. I tried doom emacs and vim but they didn’t feel right.

      Reasons I use it:

      • I found it easier to learn than vim/emacs in my opinion
      • Written in rust
      • Pretty easy to get language servers running
      • config is super easy

      It’s better than the Dome fossil. #PraiseHelix

        I initially read that as “It’s better than dome.” Which is an objectively solid pitch for anything.

      One well rounded package that doesn’t need a complicated config or possibly unmaintained plugins.
