Helix does not aim to be a better vim / neovim. Thus, for example, there are officially no vim bindings and Helix follows the selection → action model. Helix is also a relatively new project.

I’ve been trying helix and the built in LSP integration is excellent. Out of the box it’s capable of a lot when paired up with a good language server. The equivalent LSP integration on neovim takes some fat plugins.
I will say helix seems immature in a few areas. I noticed it’s missing tab layouts present in vim. Also might it not be impossible to resize splits? There’s also no linewise selection mode.
Helix out of the boz is close to my 15 years of accumulated vim config, but it seems like it’s not quite there yet.
