I actually moved from VS Code to helix and happily used it exclusively for about 4-5 months, at that point I had list list of things I really wanted in my editor. I took that list to neovim and haven’t looked back!

I really hope to be able to use helix again in the future though, there was a speed advantage in helix and less janky window management.

But for me to do that they might have to allow full vim motions as well

The latest neovim is a bear to install unless you have something newer than Ubuntu 22.

    you want a stable os where everything is frozen at 3 years ago, except you don't want it frozen at 3 years ago...

    Every time I've used Ubuntu their packages have seemed pretty out of date across the board. Is there something extra Neovim is doing here to make that worse?

      It needs a newer version of glibc, but much of the OS relies on this library, so creating a conflict can cause much mayhem.
