Out of curiosity, if you’re familiar with Emacs, what’s your motivation for wanting to use Helix? Built-in LSP support?


I use it despite a very complete emaxs setup because:

- curiosity

- seeing if I'm missing anything

- haven't had time to get tree sitter stuff configured, and wanted to see how good it is

- see if I want to move back to meow from vanilla (tons of previous vim, evil experience)


- Curiosity

- Speed, even though emacs with the emacsclient is pretty much instant

- Font support, for some reason the terminal with Emacs sometimes doesn't render as well as it should

- Some keybindings issues in the terminal like Ctrl-Backspace not working properly.

- See if there are good workflows/defaults I could use in Emacs
