  1.  @arnerademacker I use both vim and helix interchangeably, there's not much difference, in fact the area where they are different is so different that it doesn't even poses an issue like in vim if you want do delete inside parentheses it's d+i+(, in helix it's m+i+m+d, plus helix is very easy to learn, since when you start to type a command there is a popus telling you what are the next key to type to make an action, plus they use tree sitter object to move around it's overall a really great editor

  2.  @arnerademacker  I see your point but I'm using a lot of servers too, and it doesn't bother me, I know how to use VIM, but I prefer to daily drive Helix, as it's a more polished and pleasant experience, VIM is nice it gets the job done, but it's missing a ton of features, and overall installing anything feels like a chores whereas helix has almost everything you need out of the box to get a solid developer experience, they even added multi lsp-support recently, all configurable through a simple languages.toml file, which is a breeze compared to every plugin having it's own lua api that you have to learn to configure things properly. But I get it VIM is always there, it's reliable, works great, and works everywhere.

  3. that's why I use Helix, you get a good modal editor, that feels modern, work wonderfully, is extremely efficient and snappy, you can configure stuff using a simple .toml file, and the best part is that it simply just work. It's by far the best experience I had, I've started using VIM, than I moved to NVIM, tried a few distros, made my own config multiple times, learned a fair bit of lua too, but ultimately it felt like I was spending more time tinkering and messing my whole config, that doing actual code, Helix came in clutch, and just blew me away, it really feels like a well made ultra polished, nvim distro, without the clutter, and the buggyness that this would imply
