I tried Helix maybe about 6 months ago. It was pretty good, but there were things I do regularly in vim that I couldn't do in Helix, and the obvious way to do it in Helix didn't work (but it did in Kakoune when I tried that).
I mentioned this on whatever chat was listed on Helix's website as the place to go, and everyone there was open to making the obvious thing work, so I'm guessing Helix will get there at some point, but I don't want to use it now. Certainly given the relative momentum of the two projects Helix should get there some day.
