Helix, Terminal Modal Editor

Its out-of-the-box experience seems much nicer than vim (or even kakoune).

Helix takes a lot of inspiration from kakoune. e.g. like kakoune, its command menu shows a description for the command. And, obviously, its modal editing puts emphasis on selection-then-action (compared to vim's verb-motion).

Helix puts a big emphasis on LSP and tree-sitter, rather than having these bolted-on as plugins.
