Loved helix and batteries included philosophy but was wishing for more batteries. Specifically the lack of a good diff viewer. Yes I can create a shortcut to lazygit but the way swapping between processes worked was buggy and uncomfortable.

And even though abstractly I like helix's keyboard model better than vim, I wish there was a way to just switch to vim mode because it is too ingrained.

Maybe this fork can address some of this either directly or by allowing plugins.

Similar for me. I understand the impetus to stick to only standard Language Server Protocol (LSP) features, but on the other hand support for what e.g. RustAnalyzer offers would be incredibly useful for me.
