As a long time user of both Emacs (since 18.52) and Neovim and now Helix, I find your last assertion to be false. While it is true that there are many options (though not as many as either Emacs or Neovim), in Helix you cannot write code or install someone else's code to modify your editor. In the past I've spent a good amount of time trying out, integrating, and debugging various packages for Neovim and Emacs. In Helix I might try a new option setting, but the time involved is minuscule compared to what you might spend customizing other editors.

Just because your current customization needs are primitive in Helix doesn't mean that the potential isn't there!

What about trying to change all the keybinds to suit your emacs/vim needs? What about tweaking hundreds of colors in editor theme?

But this is planned, so if only code tickles your fancy, then yeah, you'd have to wait for the full rabbit hole customization potential to appear.
