I really like the great defaults helix comes with.
I used neovim for 20 years and still like it a lot. But after some plugins broke I wanted to give helix a try. I am missing a plugin system in helix.
However, for me, helix comes with the nearly perfect amount of functionality, while being extremely responsive. It also made me appreciate stuff like multicursor, which I haven’t tried before.
I tried multiple out of the box nvim solutions, but never liked one of those.
I looked into zed, but don’t see much of a reason to use it. Maybe I should give it a try.

Whoa neovim's been around that long already?
No it’s not. I was using vim / nvim interchangeable. I moved from emacs to vim in 2003 or 2004. I am really not sure when I changed vim to nvim as I always have an alias vim=nvim.
