Oh yeah, I do find Helix interesting! I sometimes recommend it to people who don't have a background with modal editing as a batteries-included option for getting started. I have tried it a little bit myself. It's hard for me to give up leap.nvim and fugitive, which is holding me back.

I've been meaning to try out dedicated git programs to see how comfortable I can be without fugitive. Tig is one that caught my eye. Or sometimes I even think about using Gitbutler because its virtual branch feature seems very useful, and I haven't seen any other tool that does that.
