I've been using Helix full time, professionally as a Rust/Golang engineer and it has been great. It took some getting used to not having a file explorer. But now I think I am better for it. These looks to be fantastic updates, I especially dig the diagnostics (if that is part of the release as well).

Wow, what's wrong with people making their own text editors though? I know quite a few people who use Helix and they seem to really enjoy it. Doesn't sound worthless to me.

maybe you don't see value in someone trying to improve the modal editing idea that came around forty-odd years ago with vim but someone certainly does
Release size is ridiculous, and they refuse to do anything about it https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/6187

I mean, I don't know why I'm replying to you, but Helix absolutely does try new things that no other editor does the same way, and it's obviously intended as a successor in spirit to vim.. maybe you don't see value in someone trying to improve the modal editing idea that came around forty-odd years ago with vim but someone certainly does

what's your workflow like for situations where you need to poke around in an unfamiliar directory and open files in helix?

I like how snappy it is and once you get used to the keyboard shortcuts I feel I am as productive as when I used to use a "traditional" editor/IDE.
Additionally, I can connect to my workstation from anywhere and have the exact same environment compared to when I am at the office.
Finally, battery life on my laptop is better than when using VSCode with the electron baggage it brings with it.
