I really like that there are more modes, called [14]"Minor modes", and
the reason why I like them are that whenever I initate a mode there is
a subtle pop-up in the lower-right corner with the available actions
with the activated mode. This is super helpful when you are first
learning Helix and when you are doing something you don’t do on a
learning Helix and when you are doing something you don't do on a
regular basis. It lowers the chance of having to switch context in
order to do something. For instance, I know that m activates “Match
mode”, but sometimes I may forget how to select around specific
order to do something. For instance, I know that m activates "Match
mode", but sometimes I may forget how to select around specific
selector like (), but with Helix I will have a little helper that tells
me that the next key is a and then the next helper will help me select
just ().

No more Vimscript and Lua, just plaintext TOML! The documentation for
how to configure the editor is great and most of the defaults are also
great! My editor-config is just 23 lines in contrast to my
Neovim-config which is 209 lines long.
