I'm not sure I follow the argument being made here.
"I don't like vim as you need to install plugins to make it work"
"helix is a dumb editor, so it needs a language server."
Then they go and list the number of plugins they install. This seems to argue against what their main point
I now use VScode most of the time, however to me its a fancy VIM variant, because I'm so used to vim bindings.
I can and do use raw vim, although not for any serious programming recently. If I were then I'd have syntastic installed and possibly some more advanced linter.
However! If it makes them happy, then this is a good thing™.
The argument doesn't make sense, but I followed the exact same path. For me, Helix is genuinely just more enjoyable to use out of the box, so I felt more motivated to tune it to my liking.
