      Same, I switched to helix about a year ago, and do all my coding (except for android because of they don’t make it easy to not use android studio).

      I was on vim for decades, but helix is finally the one that’s powerful enough to make me switch.

      • You can also use Intellij Ultimate, the only big missing features are project config if you have mismatched versions of Gradle/AGP/Kotlin as well as the profiler.

      Another vote for hx!

      Getting a productive setup for Python work is a matter of a few extra lines of TOML. The pre-release version on master also allows for multiple LSPs per language, which means I can combine pyright with ruff.

      The modal key chords are verb-object instead of object-verb. It’s not a main selling point to me. However, you get multi-cursors out of the box, which I’ve always found simpler than e.g. macros. In general, keybindings are discoverable. I learn something new every week.

      All in all, despite a few rough edges, it’s a nice alternative to needing to get a PhD in neovim configuration to get anywhere remotely near the cool setups other people are rocking.

      I really like Helix! When the plugin system comes it will be great, because it’s definitely missing some key features
