Quite frankly, reading these release notes addressing basic features like toggling block comments is just…
Makes me wonder why we engineers love reinventing the wheel with new text editors, all at various levels of brokenness.

Helix does a lot of things better than other editors, so cherry-picking some minor thing to make it look not worthwhile is just silly.
I mean, half the comments here are disappointed that plugins will need to be coded in Steel/Scheme. That basically renders the entire world of editor plugins unusable. I just can’t wrap my head around that decision!
Whether this is a basic feature depends on the languages you're using, I'm pretty sure I haven't toggled a block comment in 10+ years. Some languages don't even have them (Zig), others do but you are encouraged not to use them (Rust) and some only have those e.g. OCaml.
