I really like helix. So much that I've switched from jetbrains to neovim.

I think hx is way more "discoverable" than vim with it's "whichkey" by default functionality and it's motion-first structure is way more attractive to me.

As someone used to an IDE, I just really want git integration and other things. As soon as they land on a plugin system, maybe it will be viable.

This is a very confusing statement. Helix caused you to drop JetBrains IDEs for another editor (that is not Helix) entirely?


Neovim is closer to Helix but satisfies the needs in the second paragraph?


Laws aren't static. Also, when someone thinks they've been violated, it takes a lot of time and humans to settle it.

It's already hard enough to keep up with the laws in software.


The comparison I would draw is it's a statistics based search engine for code.

Sometimes the query is the first half of a small statement that we can fill in with common patterns. Useful, fair.

Sometimes the query is a signature like `fn fast_inv_sqrt` that copies someone's code and doesn't attribute it.
