I test-drived helix for a couple of months, and it is really fast. My major pain points compared to Neovim:

- lack of global search (like ripgrep integration) and something like dumb-jump/anyjump — it's faster and less resource-intensive than running LSP

- I encountered a couple of panics losing my unsaved changes after 24.03 update, most recently yesterday. Looks related to this bug: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/3501

I can live with no global search, but not with data loss. Probably will stop using it for now.
