I really want to like Helix, but muscle memory of vim over the past 5-6 years trips me all the time. I frequently have to edit files in remote servers and vi is choice editor mostly by default.
So far for me the story has been: see or read something cool on Helix, try it for 20min and attempt to do my actual work for the day on it, then get frustrated and feel slowed down, switch back to my neovim to get stuff done and forget about Helix until the next release hype.
