    I used to use neovim for a while, the main reason I migrated to helix was because it just has everything built in, no need to spend hours getting lsps working and everything

    The motions are vastly better than vim though imo, the select as you go thing makes it feel a lot more natural

    (For example, w moves you to the end of the word and selects it, then pressing it again deselects and selects the next word unless you’re in v mode)

    Meaning to delete a word it’s w+d not d+w

    Also very good multi cursor support, instead of typing out a long sed command I can select a block or all, and do S,(regex) and it spawns a cursor on every match which can do everything the normal one can

    As for it being everywhere have you ever used sshfs? It’s always my go-to when editing projects on a remote server and then you can use whatever you want
