I'm a long-time user of Emacs, and although I don't see myself switching to Helix, one thing that I really liked when I looked at Helix was how good the out-of-the-box experience was. As I get older, I am annoyed at the amount of customization that I have for different programs, and I wish I had fewer dotfiles that to maintain and carry around. I recently started trying some of my daily drivers (alacritty, fish, tmux, git) without my configurations and though they're a bit less comfortable, they're pretty good nonetheless. I would probably put Helix in that category: I would probably be fine just using the thing without any customization, because the defaults are so well chosen and polished.
