See I can agree with all of this and ironically the exact changes I make to my neovim setup address quite a few of these. I'm going to look into helix again, I never gave it a good go since I didn't really see any benefit ovwe what I already have but maybe I was premature on it. I just wanted to make sure we aren't on two completely different trains of thought here where potentially your answer would have been "Visual Studio is the pinnacle"... Everything is a trade-off and for me personally I really don't want to have to touch my mouse to do common things, I'll take a slightly more intuitive UI where I need to memorize things to make doing the things I do the most often easy. Neovim (only slightly modified, telescope + lsp and completions effectively ) + tmux or a tab based terminal is where I am happy. I happened to spend 3-4 months in Visual Studio and fleet when I switched back to Windows (C++/golang ane some python/js) and when I eventually could dedicate the time to setup neovim correctly on Windows it felt like a breath of fresh air compared to that.
