I think it is worth pointing out that there are "zero configuration" vim distributions, which come with the same ease/limits.
Not to take away from Helix, which I think is a cool project. But I think it's greatest strength is that it can (and should) be more than a vim rewrite in Rust. It can actually get rid of the legacy parts of vim and redo the things which did not work and integrate modern features from the beginning.
- MyOutfitIsVague 1y agoHelix very much is not a Vim rewrite in Rust. It's closer to a Kakoune clone than a Vim one.
- ikety 1y agoZero config distros still require maintenance, and the chosen tools change over time. Helix is just Helix Helix is actively inspiring Neovim to become a more comprehensive baseline. Which is freaking awesome. One day the ootb experience will be so good with neovim that few will care for these "zero config" distros.
