Just my graybeard opinions:
- Love the possibility to download a single-file static executable that works out of the box, without need for a bizarre install method
- Love that basic vim keybindings work
- Hate that it does not come with a manpage hx.1
- Mildly annoyed by the default look and feel (line numbers taking horizontal space so that my code does not fit on the 80 column terminal, ugly white bar at the bottom, ugly negative-contrast completion hints, lines longer than 70 columns silently disappear to the right of the screen forcing me to do very unergonomical horizontal scroll, tabs should be 8 spaces by default not 2)
- There's really nothing wrong with this program, but it just feels like a vim clone, and I don't see the point to move from vim in my case.

It's a vim clone that works out of the box with LSP support, telescope, etc. that would require hours of plugin tinkering toil. I don't need to manage, configure, update, and depend on plugin authors. It's great. I install it on every host I need to interact with. Quality of life things like `helix --health` further reduces toil.
- enriquto 4y agoThanks for the explanation. I guess that these features are important for their users, but I'm definitely not one of them. (In fact, lsp is so ugly that it's a positive feature not to support it, but I digress...)
