    > Helix, the editor? How would you pitch it?

Not the OP, but Helix is a minimal fuss modal editor with sensible defaults. My config is maybe five lines? I say "maybe" because I haven't looked at it I first wrote it. And I think I'd probably be just fine with no config.

Sensible defaults but also out of the box features you only get in vim by finding and configuring external plugins (fuzzy file picker, LSP integration, multi-cursor editing, inline keymapping help).

Cons: no session save, good Helix keybindings not available in other tools so confusing to switch between vim/hx mental models when in colab/vscode, no AI-assistants since no plugin system yet.
