Helix
The older I get the less I’m interested in fiddling around with building custom configurations for things like my editor. As much as I like using Neovim, getting a usable programming environment requires a fair bit of work to create and maintain. As an alternative, I’ve been playing around with Helix, and I’m starting to really enjoy using it.
It’s a little awkward at first, mostly due to having 25+ years of Vim muscle memory, but I appreciate that nearly everything I need is built in by default, and requires minimal configuration. It’s probably going to take me several weeks to retrain my brain to use Helix’s commands, but I think it will be totally worth it.
