I'll try it out!
I was skeptical at first, but have come to love it. vim has become a frankenstein's monster over the years, requiring plugins to do everything. helix comes with LSP / IDE support out of the box, formatting, multi-line editing, quick file switching, etc. It def has been useful for both rust and typescript.
I'm a diehard vim user, but helix sounds nice. I'll give it a try. If I can quit the editor in less than 10 minutes, that'll be a win!
