Personally, I love to tinker (especially on my main machine) so I don’t mind the complexities of setting up neovim. However, I do mess around with a bunch of servers, and I like to edit code on those servers, meaning I am often installing/compiling neovim and copying over my config before I can get to work.

What I am liking about helix is the idea that its default setup has what I need to get started straight away.

I am looking forward to giving helix a go.

That’s a good enough excuse for me to try it! Thanks.

Just out of interest, what are the reasons someone would move from neovim to helix?
