I recently started using Helix too and it does what I want out of the box and is the first modeless editor that really works for me.

I am sure you can set up vim to be very much the same, but that is a significant barrier to getting started. I have tried and had problems getting it as I wanted.

The problem is that the keys are different from vim so the muscle memory does not work across the two.

I would really like to have a more lightweight editor with the same key bindings for quick edits on small files.
