Helix: Release 23.03 Highlights
I vastly prefer Vim's way of action+selection to kakoune's selection+action. Tried kakoune in the past for a few days and this decision was constantly getting in my way.
Here is a short write-up (not mine) about why kakoune model is not that appealing: https://github.com/noctuid/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs/editin...
- Why Not Kakoune?

Why Kakoune

Yes.

Not very motivated for such a harsh critic..

Can we write a Neo-vim Successor using rust?
Not Rust, but there's vis which aims to be a Vi(m) inspired editor with Sam's structural regular expressions.

I do not use vim nor a WM nor a Thinkpad, but I do use vis. It's great.

Helix: Release 23.03 Highlights
> They either break from Vim's model (kakoune, helix) or follow Vim along with all it's flaws (Neovim, Vis).
I am sincerely curious of what flaws from Vim has Vis inherited, in your opinion.
I have the impression that the design idea of Vis is taking only the modal design of Vi (not Vim), plus the structural regular expressions of Sam, then make it as clean as possible with programmability via Lua plugins.
In fact, the state non-goals [1] seems to clearly distant itself from Vim.
