I want to like helix and have tried to daily-drive it

it just seems missing so much still

a quick example - in emacs, I can do "comment-region" and I will get to comment out a selection with the right comment sequence - afaik even something as simple as that doesn't work in helix

so many other things

minor modes are important...in emacs I can have spell checking as a "minor mode" when editing markdown...how do I do this in helix?

easy support for lsp is fine but that means helix is useless if you don't have lsp for a file format you are working on...like .txt! emacs is still a great TEXT editor

maybe one day helix will be an option, not today
