Fantastic! I used EMACS for 3 years, vi(m) for 22, Kakoune for 2, and Helix for the past 3, and Helix is by far the best. I think it benefits from having arrived just in time for TreeSitter and LSP to be mature, and learned a lot from vim and Kakoune.

I like that it's modal, consistent, and fast.

Some particularly exciting changes in this release:

  • DAP integration
  • New, more capable, file explorer (the old file explorer is pretty basic)
  • command-mode expansions (%{language}, and %sh{...})!
  • purported improvement in command expansion (hopefully pipe and exec expansions are better)

Glad to see it!
