Helix splits the "select" and "verb" portions into two separate actions, so you can't easily repeat the last whole action (which you can do in Vim by pressing the dot key).

Which one is more intuitive is probably subjective, but personally, I find "dip -> delete inside parenthesis" far more intuitive (and closer to my line of thinking) than "select inside parenthesis. delete selection".

The visual-first paradigm means you need to repeat selection, not action, then act on multiple visible selections
