I used vim as my daily driver probably for the same amount of time as you and couldn't make the switch . The lack of tabs and folding destroyed my workflow.
I like to set my splits up a certain way when I'm working on something specific and then make a new tab when I change context. Then I just change tabs to context-switch quickly.
I also immediately fold all when I open a file to get an "overview" and then slowly dig in deeper.
Both currently impossible in helix (at least last time I checked).
A lot of my muscle memory also doesn't work, specifically with shift+v and selecting/moving sections around quickly.
I got used to the different order of things fairly quickly, but I'm not convinced it's actually more efficient.
I also found the random pop-ups with hints really annoying and distracting. I'm guessing there's probably a config to disable them but I haven't looked into it.
