I think it's great. I picked it up on a whim, and it then managed to turn into my default (code) editor. The good: -Closeness to Vim and the floating option menu (if you eg. press g, it shows you what options you have in the lower right of the screen) make it really easy to learn and be productive with -Some amazing defaults. m (for select inner word, delimiter, function, class, etc.) is great, the multi-cursor mode is absolutely amazing and wipes the floor with Vim's "search and replace" functionality for all sorts of reasons. -Multi-cursor mode and the s-key (take a selection, filter by regex) is absolutely amazing in general. Makes it incredibly easy to perform repetitive edits. -All sorts of stuff just works -Built in treesitter for movements and highlighting, and built-in LSP support which works great -Helix makes NeoVim look old and crufty. When loading NeoVim it was common to run into annoyances with plugins, where it felt like various plugins or functionalities are "fighting" each other over control. Helix feels very slick and modern in comparison, -you don't need 90% of the classic vim plugins most people use, since they're already built into the program The bad: -Still lacks certain features, apparently softwrapping lines at screen-width is currently being worked on, and that's a feature I've been waiting for -Can't do some of the fancy stuff you can do with vim plugins, eg. LaTeX support with PDF-viewer connection, or Jupyter notebooks, or whatever sort of highly specific thing you might want to do -Not as good at editing plaintext as Vim. Vim has eg. das ~ "delete as sentence", Helix doesn't. Couple that with lack of softwrapping (for now), and it's a pain It's pretty great, and I see no reason not to use it. I run into situations where Helix isn't suitable (eg. LaTeX or plaintext), and then I just switch to regular NeoVim. The keybinds are close enough that it's easy to switch back and forth
