You know, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Helix; if it gets more people using modal editors then I’m all for it. Personally though, I haven’t seen a convincing reason to leave Vim yet.
The biggest reason though is that my editor works literally everywhere. Even without my custom vimrc, vanilla vim is hugely powerful, and to have that on every random server I need to access is a gamechanger for me. Even if all you have is Vi, you still have a very capable editor available.
I mean uh… Crushed by a boulder! Which on Lemmy means you’ll be downvoted into oblivion until they run you off the instance haha.
What if I swap it out with helix like that statue in Indiana jones
