i agree that the plug-in chaos of vim and even emacs is exhausting. there’s so much churn, abandoned packages, and all this decision making that you have to do to get started. but at the same time you can’t expect to be able to build all the functionality into the editor. my workflow is greatly simplified by using tpopes vim-fugitive, it’s a fantastic git interface and it makes total sense to be part of an editor, and the lack of a similar thing in helix was the first reason i went back to vim after trying it out. if helix had plug-ins i’d probably be implementing that functionality myself! there are tons of other things like that. sure i could start building a git interface into helix itself but that both seems like a failure to separate concerns and a possible waste of time if it gets rejected by the maintainer etc.
