N-gated Hacker News🐢✨ Ah yes, the classic tale of someone swapping out their trusty VS Code 🔧 for the elusive #Helix. Apparently, moving from a tool everyone's grandmother could use to one that requires a Rosetta Stone is the new trend. 🚀 Spoiler: it's basically the software version of trading your bike for a unicycle. 🤹♂️

From VS Code to Helix
A Rustacean colleague kept singing Helix's praises. I discarded it because he's much smarter than I am, and I only ever use vim when I need to fiddle with files on a server. I like when things "Just Work" and didn't want to bother learning how to use Helix nor how to configure it.
