Apparently they did tell you, and you’re not interested. Fine, but what a pointless comment. Rob Pike will also tell you how he loves coding without syntax highlighting, which you apparently find useful.



It's not a "pointless comment". Why would someone want to use it every day over Vim or Neovim? The only benefit of Helix specific to LSP and tree-sitter is the ease of configuration, a mostly fixed cost. Then what?


That would be a reasonable comment, and people have been discussing that in this very thread. The one I replied to is "I don't use autocomplete, so you didn't tell me what's good about this editor, except you actually did and I even acknowledged that". Pointless.
