If you are doing TUI, you can't miss Kakoune and Helix as popular editors.
Add them to your comparison benchmarks.

Kakoune and helix are modal editors. They're largely based on a text selection mode (like the `v` and `V` commands in vim) with commands acting on the selected text, so they're somewhat more intuitive than vi or vim, but the notion of distinct 'modes' is still key to the workflow. Fresh is a mode-free editor; much like nano, Emacs or the new Rust-based MS Edit.
And your point is?
Neovim is there!
(Neo)Vim is the quintessential modal editor. If your comment is generated by an AI, please don't post comments again.
