Interesting that every time Helix comes up, someone just has to mention Neovim. You never see Emacs or Helix users do that the other way around. Almost as if they’re personally offended.
Isn’t the reason more benign.
Neovim exist to improve upon concepts in Vim (easier plugin development with Lua).
Helix exists to improve upon concepts in Neovim (need for less plugins, more out of box functionality).
Not that surprising to be honest.
Helix is more similar to Neovim than Emacs and Helix is newer and less popular than Neovim, so people are predictably curious on why they should choose Helix over Neovim.

that apparently includes helix's creators, considering neovim is mentioned both on its website and in its repository's readme
Vin/Neovim is one of the most popular editors in the world, Emacs and Helix are far from that.
emacs is far from that? that seems mistaken
Here's just one survey: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#1-integrated... showing how unpopular Emacs is. It has a lot of mindshare among greybeards but very few people actually use it.
Jeez, do you know what projection is?
