Long-time (Neo)Vim user, tried Helix for a few months but just couldn’t get on with it.

It felt too inflexible (not just from lack of plugins), and there were numerous annoyances like save always changing file ownership to the current user, the buffer not reloading when a file is changed externally, no way to highlight (only) trailing spaces, dot repeat doesn’t always work (because the motion/selection comes first) etc.

But mostly I much prefer the way Vim does selection and motions and actions etc.

I wish I could pipe stuff to helix without having to deal with not saving the buffer.

I also don’t like bulk search and replace in helix as it’s based on selection and replace.

Other than that, I find it easier to stick to helix than to vim!
