Helix: Release 24.03 Highlights
Helix's modal editing is based on Kakoune's modal editing which is like an evolution to Vim's modal editing. You can think of it as being always in selection (visual) mode. https://github.com/mawww/kakoune?tab=readme-ov-file#selectio...

A tutorial for the Sam command language (1986) [pdf]
And while it doesn’t use the sam language precisely, I think in the broader “postfix Vi with visual feedback” category Kakoune[1] also warrants mentioning. The command language, in my experience, feels much more logical than that of Vis coming from a blank slate (things might be different if you come from Vim, but even when I used Vim regularly I never used the editing language that much exactly because I could never remember the damn thing).
And having mentioned Kakoune it’d probably be unfair to then not mention Helix[2]. It has a very similar editing language, but it’s a fairly anti-Unix everything-bolted-in affair on the inside (“everything works out of the box” being the advertising take) compared to Kakoune’s Acme-inspired no-scripting scripting (there’s an ex-style command to exec a user program that can then drive the editor over stdio RPC, a set of hooks, and that’s it). So if you’ve come for the Plan 9 feels, I don’t expect Helix to be that appealing. It’s still a good editor, nevertheless.

What is the best book for complete beginner?
You can take a look at kakoune. The source code (excluding documentations, test cases, customizations etc.) is less than 40k. It is, IMHO, a show case of a C++ project in use.

Yes.

Not very motivated for such a harsh critic..

Understanding the Origins and the Evolution of Vi and Vim
I've been using Vim for years, but if there was one thing I could change, it would be the verb-noun order. The Kakoune[1] editor behaves mostly like Vim, but where Vim has `dw` as "delete word", Kakoune has it backwards: `wd`.
It might sound minor, but by placing the range first, Kakoune can give a preview of what will be changed. The longer or more complicated the command, the more this feature shines.
Strictly better as far as I know. A shame my muscle memory, and all default installations, are still stuck with Vim.

Is it possible to use VIM as an ide?
On the vim side, you can try https://spacevim.org.

Are there any preconfigured config to make neovim as a text editor rather than a IDE?
https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim There isn't much difference between a text editor and an IDE, so not sure if this is what you were looking for.

FOSS alternative to VS CODE for Arch Linux
You can find distributions with plugins for those editors, like Doom Emacs or space vim. These days, I enjoy doing (neo)vim configs (with lua). Both can use the language server protocol (with different plugins or natively in neovims' case) and so you'd get similar setups done like in code.

Opinions on pre-made configurations (e.g. LunarVim, AstroNvim)
I'm considering picking up a pre-made configuration project as my Neovim daily driver, but boy, there sure are a lot of them. SpaceVim, CosmicNvim, AstroNvim, LunarVim, NvChad, and many more I'm sure.

Vim distros: LunarVim, AstroVim, IdeaVim, … how they differ one each other?
The only Vim distro I'm aware of is SpaceVim (https://spacevim.org/). I just tested it for a short time but it couldn't compete with my hand crafted settings ;-) But I'm using some of the plugins of SpaceVim in my setup, eg. vim-which-key and vista.vim.
