Also the object-verb and selection-verb paradigm just makes so much more sense compared to vim's verb-object/-motion paradigm. Especially with the ability to have multiple cursors and selections. It's so powerful.
I started with Emacs for about a year or two, then vim for about 10+ years, then neovim, then VS Code with vim bindings for a few years, then Kakoune, which was very interesting, then VS Code with Kakoune bindings, then the switch to Helix was very natural. Never looked back after about 2 years with Helix.
It's basically everything I loved from VS Code but in the terminal. And all the keyboard goodness from vim and Kakoune, combined. It's great.
