In light of the Helix editor getting a scheme based plugin system maybe even before next year, I've decided to deep dive on it a little.
I love how hard my Vim muscles carry me. Most Helix motions already feel natural. Inverting selection and action is easy to adapt to.
Helix has damn near all my boxes ticked with zero plugin dependency. The things I am missing are just shell abstractions like :vimgrep and quick fix lists (just use sed). So, I get closer to the shell.
