In Dimitri Sabadie’s latest blog post, he shares his experience with Helix editor after using it for 5-6 months as his primary editor. Despite Helix being different from Vim, Sabadie highlights its benefits, including natively integrating many features that are typically plugins in other editors, making the code more maintainable with a better user experience. He also praises the editor’s configuration, which treats it as data and feels like a joy to use. The biggest difference with Helix is the editor’s multi-selection-centric design, which Sabadie considers powerful, intuitive, and logical. Overall, Sabadie encourages readers to give Helix a try despite the Vim community’s skepticism.
