Helix is awesome, though once Lapce (spiritual successor to Xi editor) gets the Helix/Kakoune editing model, I may have to jump ship

Helix is a very young project. The first version was released in 2021 if I'm not mistaken. And the number of users is probably manageable. I don't think you can expect such projects to offer the same range of functions as projects that have been around for years or that build on a code base that has been around for ages. As far as the plug-in system is concerned, for example, there is a corresponding discussion at https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/3806.
I've only tried out the selection->action model using the meow editing mode for Emacs, and I initially thought it was a really great idea, but I found myself frustrated at the lack of a meaningful repeat operator. I'm not even sure what the semantics of that operator would be in a selection->action model, given that so often the thing I'm repeating in vim is a command like ci".
