I had tried many times to switch to vim/emacs and the initial barrier
to get a workable system always kept me from pushing forward.
For me Helix gets enough right out of the box I find myself reaching for it far more than I ever did with vi or Emacs. They're working on plugin support but I've not felt the need to investigate it at all.
Is there a good solution to managing "workspace", especially handling multi-folder workspace? I have a project where code lives in giant monorepo, and the files I edit don't have the same root (more precisely, the root is too large to open in the editor). I haven't found a good solution outside VSCode yet.
Well the file picker can be limited to the current directory and its descendants, and the global search picker is by default. Beyond that, dunno.
