Hacker News users are weighing Helix vs. Vim/Neovim, or considering the switch. Key points: Helix's "noun-verb" editing, "out-of-the-box" setup, and how it stacks against highly customized Vim or VS Code. It's about ease vs. depth. #TextEditors 1/5

1. Vim. Clicks with me like no other
2. ed. Classic, does one thing and does it good
3. Vi. A good fallback
