Helix is a really nice editor. I use it as my go-to for when I'm in the terminal environment.

For sufficiently complex manipulations, I find the "selection-action" ("motion-action") to be more intuitive than "action-motion". Even with vim, I'd often like making use of visual mode.

I think the main limitation to this that I believe is it's probably a bit slower for quick + frequent edits compared to vim.
