Do you use vim as your default text editor? If you do not, have you ever been in a situation you could do nothing but use vim?

No. But only because I switched to helix. I have used vim for a lone time before that. Only having vim on a system is fine. Far worse is only having vi. Which is almost like vim but missing a lot of useful things.

    I use helix part-time but am forced to go back to neovim a majority of the time for a few reasons:

    1. no persistent undo
    2. no ctags and cscope (some C/C++ projects don't work well with clangd)
    3. niche plugins (e.g. I just found a neovim plugin that gives me a way to run ipynb files in-editor)

    If 1 and 2 got fixed, I'd be a full time helix user
