I think it’s pure economics. Flash models are OP for the price, leads to too much demand, google cannot serve it. This is likely expensive to reduce load and hey, if it still makes money just keep the margin.
Things I loved: no plugins. Native LSP integration. The pickers are a lot faster and nicer than what I can get in neovim after absolutely atrocious configs.
Things I liked: w and e selects the word. I kinda got used to that and miss it in vim now.
Things I loathed: there is no clear mental model of what will get selected on a motion. Something like selecting a paragraph (V } in vim) is replaced with a (gf) which doesn’t ever do exactly what I want.
Overall, the annoyances outweighed the benefits. I wish evil-helix all the luck. I would use it but it kinda sucks on Mac rn since you have to whitelist every library used.
