    I was totally impressed by helix. I would suggest anyone starting new to start with helix instead of vim/neovim.

    Hopefully helix would have plug-in system in near future.

      I tried it out really early on, and was quite impressed. Out of the box, it’s quite solid. Reminded me a lot of my modded Zsh setup, vs a completely stock Fish, that did all of the same and more. Unfortunately for a proper development environment, the lack of plugins is where it ended for me

      I’d tried a lot of vim alternatives, but helix was the first one that made me completely switch over.

        Even without plugins it’s very much usable as a daily driver.
