Huge thank you to the helix team and contributors.

Running `hx` for the first time is one of those experiences where you go simply go, "woah". I've since never looked back and it's slowly defeating how often I open up even larger things in VS Code.

The thing that always held me back from learning `[n]vim` was the huge amount of configuration variability between all the variants and the lack of instruction on just doing something out of default. Neovim is basically the best experience out of the box but even sometimes there you want to have extra functionality. It's really hard to beat the amazing defaults in `hx` and even better `hx -g fetch||build`.

The one thing I'm still missing is ease of running singular test cases or test groups in larger codebases. This still feels hard on Helix.
