Helix is really great. It’s so nice to not require screenfuls of configuration. And Emacs Lisp fans will feel right at home when the Scheme plugin system lands

  How will emacs fans feel at home, in an editor that has mandatory modal editing?

    It sounds like the parent is proposing Helix as an alternative to nvim for modal use cases. I’ll have to check it out.

      It's a good editor, if modal is your thing. Requests in the past to add immediate-style editing capabilities have basically stated it won't/can't happen.
