I was very enthusiastic about helix since it rethinks some of vim complexity. But lack of plugins makes it just an editor for small files only that I can quickly start on server and doesn’t not make it suitable for serious work.
- feelamee 7mo agowhy? There is LSP support included. Pretty usable. Of course this is not fully IDE, but I don't expect this from "editor"
- para_parolu 7mo agoJust to be clear: it’s not suitable for me to do work using this editor. There are many features lacking that makes me more efficient. In case of vim that is solved by a few plugins. It’s not about being IDE but rather about being well fitted tool. I wish I would only need LSP but it’s not enough for my work.
- linhns 7mo agoAgreed. But very useful for quick editing, and easier to install than vim on Windows.
- para_parolu 7mo agoThat’s a perfectly fine usecase. But all systems I work with have vim installed by default anyway. And vim handles big files better than helix (not sure why)
