The keybindings are pretty similar, the paradigm change from verb-noun to noun-verb and the multiple cursor paradigm are bigger changes. I got used to it with my brief affair with Kakoune.

The Vim muscle memory will be quite helpful and not a whole lot of unlearning is necessary. hjkl navigation and other familiar concepts are similar in Helix and Vim.

Vim ci" translates to Helix mi"c. After the first key press (m), a help dialog pops up.
