@b0rkJulia Evans I am absolutely not telling you what to do. I'm giving you a datapoint. I am a #Vim / #NeoVim expert. I have used Vim for ... hmm, maybe it's decades. Not sure. I use Vim key-bindings everywhere that I can. I have given talks and made YouTube videos about Vim.

I’m always trying new things. For instance, #RustLang. One thing I thought I'd try is the #HelixEditor. For a lot of people, and you may well be one, Vim/NeoVim is the right choice. If it is, I won't try to convert you. But my experience so far with Helix has been so positive, that even after decades of Vim being my favorite, it has been replaced by Helix.

I still use Vim wherever that's the right choice, for instance remote machines I don't control. But editing actual code in Helix using that language's LSP and with tree-sitter is absolutely delightful. Even the fact that Helix isn't a “finished” editor doesn't dissuade me.

At work, #Python is our main language, and we all have PyCharm. I use the Vim bindings via #IdeaVim. I prefer Helix even to that.

So there's your datapoint. Maybe someone you know well and trust has an opinion that sheds more light on the two editors.
