alt Hacker NewsI switched from neovim because plugins and updates kept breaking it, and I never really did feel like I was in control of it anyway. Helix does what it does, no fuzz. Never breaks.
You do start to think “can I get helix keybindings in my shell”, though.

I've always used GUIs and had to basically break my brain to learn vim keybindings (in Sublime Text) some time ago and the helix bindings are just different enough to throw me off. Sucks because I would prefer an out-of-box solution that "just works" and I'm comfortable in across all my machines for terminal text editing.
At least once a week I daydream about altering nushell so it can run helix as a subprocess for handling the editing parts. Maybe one day I'll go for it. Until then I'll just to make frequent use of the open-in-editor command.
