I use Emacs. I love seeing people working on new editors, too. NeoVim looks awesome, Helix is cool, I wish Kakoune was still active. BUT I don't understand why we're still writing new full-featured editors like this that only run inside terminal emulators.* We've had GUIs for 40 years! They're good, actually! It's okay to have an interface based on pixels instead of grids of characters! Yes, of course sometimes doing a bit of in-terminal editing is the best way to get something done, but that should be quick, basic, and exceptional, not something where you need an LSP client and project management. * EDIT: I see now another thread where someone from the Helix project says they're planning other frontends, which is great! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33497529 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33497529
