In found the keybindings easier to learn than vim and it is nice that you don't need plugins for a lot of things.

This is a really good video demonstrating Helix editor: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xHebvTGOdH8&feature=share9

I've try for time to time to learn and use vim. But that was to hard.

Now I learn helix and it's easy.

Thanks for sharing this.

I also had trouble leaening vim and find helix more intuitive. Glad you like it!
