Pff. Peasantry.
Zed and Helix ftw.
Just out of interest, what are the reasons someone would move from neovim to helix?
i have sort of done this. the main thing is that the reversed object-verb command model just... latches onto your brain. this is from kakoune of course, but it just makes a lot of sense coming from vimland. multicursor is also nice because it removes some modes, meaning there is less state to keep in your head. finally, the plug-and-play nature of helix means you can have an lsp-enabled environment from the word go, with no configuration.
That's a good enough excuse for me to try it! Thanks.
