I see a lot of vim-to-helix comments, but I have been a helix user for a little while and decided to try neovim seriously for the first time. I've used it, but I never got into it.
I like the extensibility and customizability of neovim. I do not like the action-subject (verb-noun as some put it) model flow, but that could be just muscle memory and bias. I'm going to keep at it and see if I like it better, it might turn out to be more powerful. I don't like a lot of the default binds, helix's binds just seem to be more sensible, again could be bias since I used helix first, and I can always change them.
- teo_zero 4y agoEven in neovim you can select a region first (via 'v') and act on it later. E.g. to change till the end of the word: 'vec' (where idiomatic vi would be 'ce'), to delete the content of a block: 'vibd' (idiomatic: 'dib'), etc.
