Helix takes (IMO) the very smart approach of making language server plugins "just work". The defaults are good enough for most use cases. This is a key friction point for new users of vim/neovim that don't want to spend days setting up an IDE like experience, and something vscode and helix get right.

It lacks a good config and plugin story though, so if you're not happy with the defaults its not great.

I also just dislike the different actions. Having everything be a selection just doesn't make sense to me compared to the vim style.
