It's great to see more projects in the space, but for me it's not really about the editor itself any more, it's about the ecosystem and the extensibility. The act of selecting and changing text is just a small part of the problem space.
I use emacs not because I'm a neckbeard, but because I can script it to do whatever the hell I like. I switch to vscode when I want to do something my emacs setup isn't yet good for (like, working with Typescript).
On the flip side, I use sublime text as a notepad replacement because it's that fast. I still use nano as my default editor for commit messages. Sometimes I use vim because that's what I happened to type to open a file.
This isn't a comment on helix editor itself...just that, it's a pretty saturated space and I'm keen to see something as novel as light table play out again, but only more successfully.
