Why Kakoune
I use NeoVim. I used Vim previously and just know the built in basics very well.
NeoVim incorporating Lua as a first class language has allowed plugin authors to build plugins that are faster and better than plugins for Vim written in VimScript (or other languages like python/typescript which are much slower).
There is a strong community for neovim on reddit, youtube, etc and plugin authors do a nice job of building tools that work with each other.
Setting it up I agree is a pain, but once done its very little maintenance/work. Even when I've had to 'redo' my setup (eg swithing package managers like vim plug to packer to lazy) its been easy and under 15 or so minutes.
I edit minor things in my config every few months. Everything flows quite nicely now and breaking changes are far less common than they used to be (at least among the plugins I use).
My vim config if you're curious (along with the rest of my dotfiles): https://github.com/sbernheim4/dotfiles/tree/master/vim

Neovim/LSP skeleton
Mine's not very bare bones, but its also not massive. I like to think it's decently set up and readable. Hopefully its possible for you to use some parts: https://github.com/sbernheim4/dotfiles

Multi-cursor code editing: An animated introduction
Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

:syntax off (2016)
I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

Lapce
You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

Memray – A Memory Profiler for Python
I'm probably not the average python programmer.
But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.
I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...
Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Zed is now open source
Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.
Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
