I've started writing all of my scripts in nushell (unless It's critical that they keep working long-term without maintenance). It's incredible, and improving fast.

Helix is a Vim/Kakoune-inspired modal editor, with a bunch of stuff built in by default. For example it has support for a huge amount of LSPs and intergrates them automatically.

It's command structure is also super similar to Vim's, but, basically, "flipped" around. So you wouldn't write "dw" to delete a word, but "wd". This means that you can see whatever you're selecting to be deleted highlighted before you actually execute the deletion. It has a bunch of saner commands also for stuff people usually want to do, like go to definition/usage, and honestly for people who aren't Vim-addicts such as myself, it's probably a good idea to check it out once, to see if it's a good fit for you.

I tried getting into nvim (handy for editing from the CLI or over ssh), but within weeks the plugin system started getting weird errors.

Then I tested Helix[0] when a friend suggested it and it Just Works. Along with LSP support that just picks up language servers automatically if you install them.

The target-action command style takes some getting used to after (n)vim's action-target style, but I actually prefer it now.
