I use Helix and Nvim pretty much concurrently and whenever I have to use vim I feel slower on most basic movements. A fresh set of keybinds is really nice - though simultaneously there are one or two specific actions which are slower or unintuitive in Helix. But overall I love Helix.

Just throwing in Helix here.

nvim + coc.nvim + coc-clangd (or other language LSP implementations) will give you the conveniences of modern IDEs + the power and speed of vim 🙂
Coc.nvim is kinda bloated though. Really wish developers put more effort into their LSP servers instead of just saying “go use vscode lol”.
Then again, native LSP isn’t that bad. I’ve been using it daily for months now, it’s better than most people give it credit for.
Vim again, showing why the superior text editor.
