111 MB for a text editor is acceptable? I mean I get it, "we" are getting conditioned to it, but...
The editor is 10mb. It's the grammar files that are represent the bulk, and those are optional. And yes. Complaining about 100mb nowadays is ridiculous. You probably have larger logfiles sitting somewhere in disk doing nothing right now, regardless of your OS.
Does it do code folding yet?
Here is the forum post that convinced me NOT to continue getting into Helix. It says all I need about the project health. And given the development since then, I am more confident that it’s a bad horse to bet on. https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/1840#issuecomme...
Very nice to see a text editor that is very capable, yet still minimal and not focused on including a bunch of useless AI features.

I really wanted to like Helix, and for the most part did, but there is something about the way undo works that just feels incredibly wrong to me. What it wants to undo doesn't always seem logical and always undoes too much. I've lost work because of it in the past.
I agree the undo is sometimes a bit weird, as is the “repeat last command”. However, the rest of it is so nice that I keep Helix as my main editor. How did you lose work, though, could you not redo?

Long forgotten the times back in the days during the Great Editor Wars when Emacs was shunned as an acronym for "Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping". The youth of today ...

And those log files can be easily wiped or rotated (i.e. compressed, which can greatly reduce their size), as they should. You do not do the same with your other files, do you?

111mb is bloat apparently in a time where storage is in the terabytes.
But regardless, if someone were to only ever installing Helix on their system, you might have a point. But you probably want to install many applications and if every applications starts wasting storage, you will soon run out of space.
