I'm trying out the helix text editor. It feels very new, but clearly reflects the heritage of vim. Has anyone else here tried it?

@oli How do you use it?

I ask because I tend to use vim (really neovim) for system administration tasks like making specific changes to config files, and GUI text editors for general writing. I've tried to commit to using neovim all the time so I can improve through focus, but it just doesn't feel very comfortable for most tasks. So I'm trying to get a sense of whether helix will be more comfortable in the long run.
