Weird how different people can be. The only thing I found compelling in the “great features” list is snappiness. Otherwise, - subject-verb isn’t a universal improvement; Vim provides both through visual mode with an extra keypress, kak/helix only make one easy; - git integration looks sub-par for anyone familiar with magit / fugitive; - the level of discoverability is at “much worse than Emacs, but proud of the achievement”; - system integration is on a table stakes level. The extensibility / composability topic is close to my heart, but the particular take does not sound right. Emacs, for one, is not extensible like vs code is extensible, it’s runtime modifiable via insane levels of “internal” composability that is not achieved by other tools. It also works well with outside tools. I don't see what prevents the author from running magit separately; you can absolutely eval a magit-status from your command line. You'll lose editor integration, but that seems to be the point of the exercise? In this particular case, the whole philosophical comparison reads like an excuse for Helix’s limitations. TOML config would just make me angry on a daily basis. It’s okay to like simple simple things. Just don’t compare them with Emacs — it's an entirely different kind of thing. Apples, oranges, kitchen sinks.
