I'm still trying to use helix, as I think the design of the keyboard interaction is mostly an improvement on vi/vim. I think there are some shortcuts that helix stil need to "figure out" - like vim dd, for example (you can delete a line in helix, but you need something like xd. And xx won't work (because it "means" select line, expand to select next line).

And while one could of course remap helix, that would go against most of the benefits of changing imnho. In that case neovim would be more pragmatic.

My biggest pain point / muscle error from vim has turned out to be using x for delete - which surprised me a lot - if you'd asked me I'd probably said I delete with d in some combination or other. Apparently not.

The biggest benefit I see is the synergy between object/subject/selection -> action (wORD cHANGE) and the context menu on space (eg: x (select line) space (context menu) y (yank to system clipboard). It feels about as light as vim "leader", and really helps discovery.

Still not 100% sure I'll stick with it - but I definitely think helix have made a lot of good decisions.
