I recently made the switch from vim to helix. It turns out that I don't really like screwing around with my vim config for hours and hours. Helix has great defaults (themes, LSP already installed, syntax highlighting already installed and enabled for popular languages) and that's made a huge difference for me.

My vim config was at least a hundred lines, and that's not counting the endless plugins. My helix config is three or four lines to set my theme persistently and disable auto-filling parens. Something like:

    theme = "onedark"
    
    [editor]
    auto-pairs = false

And Helix doesn't even support plugins (yet), so this is all bundled with the default install.
