Helix is great but the rigidness on Selection -> Action editing methodology is a non-starter for me. And it isn't because of qualitatively better or worse reasons, it is about mobility and universality. I need an editing scheme that is universal for maximum mobility.
I understand the creator's viewpoint (Helix was made the way he likes it), but I think it would have been better to separate out the editing logic from all the other great, overlapping features.
It would be nice to have a modern, modal text editor that allows a user to utilize an uncompromising vim mode, emacs mode, kakoune mode, or any other custom mode they'd like -- all built in natively. An editor built for everyone should not be opinionated about how one edits.
That along with things like a built in LSP, plugin management, and extensible scripting support (allowing the use of plugins would multiple ecosystems) would be really sweet.
