It's funny to see Helix mentioned, without kakoune being mentioned.

Helix is a really nifty terminal editor. It aims to be nice out-of-the-box, to have good LSP support, DAP support, and Tree-Sitter support.

Compared to vim's "action motion" keybindings, Helix goes for "motion action" (which kakoune popularised). I find this is frequently more intuitive.

Helix also has neat discoverability.. with pop-ups showing you what the available keybindings are.
