I agree. Helix has been the first TUI editor that I have been able to be productive on. With Emacs, vim and neovim, there was so much fiddling just to get started. And the more functionality I added, the slower and bigger the editors became, so I kept going back to the JetBrains suite and vscode. With Helix, it was love at first sight. I like how discoverable its UI is. I prefer the modal approach of Helix where movement goes first, so that I can see over what what and where my action will take place. I like not having to fiddle with plugins. I like the defaults, meaning my config file fits on my screen and there's still vertical space to spare.
